Acupuncturist
2600 FORUM BLVD B2 COLUMBIA MO, 65203About
Tara Barnett is an acupuncturist practicing in COLUMBIA, MO. She evaluates and treats patients based on the concepts of oriental medicine. Acupuncturists complete their evaluations by getting a patient history along with tongue, fingernail and pulse diagnoses. Then, they place very fine acupuncture needles into specific points on the body. Accessing and addressing these points releases chemicals in the brain that stimulate the healing process, as well as increasing circulation and blood flow. Most conditions resolve quickly and permanently, some take a longer series of treatments. A 'maintenance' dose of acupuncture is recommended to maintain wellness once Optimal Health is achieved. The acupuncture treatment itself is very relaxing, many people fall asleep during their session. Side effects involve: better sleep, less stress, better digestion and better quality of life!
