Philosophy:
The
convenient division of physical, emotional and spiritual obscures their
essential integration. As we begin to appreciate the impact of each
area on the others, we may look for guidance to the practice of acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine where the unity of mind/body/spirit has for thousands of years
been axiomatic. Study of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and other systems
found in ancient texts sheds light on the treatment of psychological/emotional
imbalances, and the integration of these with physical symptoms.

What is
acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the
cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which also includes modalities
such as moxabustion and cuppping. Developed over 2500 years ago, this system
encompasses both diagnosis and treatment of disease. Treatment involves the
insertion of very fine needles into points along Meridian pathways (energy
channels). Recent research has confirmed the existence and location of these
points.
TCM recognizes that symptoms are part of a larger and interconnected whole. It is not possible to treat parts without affecting the whole; conversely, the whole must be treated in order to treat the symptoms.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Qi (pronounced "chee) is life energy that flows through the body in a network of channels called Meridians. As long as Qi Flow is smooth and sufficient, there is health. Should Qi be disrupted, for example by trauma, stress, poor nutrition, environmental or genetic factors, illness may result.
Acupuncture is a method of balancing and restoring the free flow of Qi, thereby promoting health.
Acupuncture has been recognized by both the World Health Organization and the treating a wide variety of illnesses.
Musculoskeletal Disorders – tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, TMJ, sciatica, low back pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, joint pain
Respiratory Disorders – colds & flu, asthma, bronchitis
Gastrointestinal Disorders – diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, nausea, indigestion
Circulatory Disorders – hypertension, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis
Gynecological Disorders – menstrual irregularity, PMS, infertility, menopausal symptoms
Acupuncture is safe when performed by a licensed professional. Needles are individually packaged, sterile, and disposed of after one use.
Acupuncture needles are about the thickness of a hair, nothing like the hypodermic needles used to give shots. The sensation of insertion is often described as “tickling”, “tingling”, or “pulling”.
Most people find acupuncture very relaxing,
often sleeping during treatment. Wear loose, comfortable clothing for your
appointment, relax, and feel free to ask your Acupuncture Physician any
questions you may have about your treatment.
