What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an effective form of medical treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well.

Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.

What to Expect?

During the initial exam a full health history is taken. Questions are asked regarding health, symptoms and lifestyle. An appropriate physical exam is conducted, including pulse and tongue diagnosis.

Gathering this information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of Qi that may have contributed to a persons health problems. The practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan.

Once the imbalances are detected, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific points along meridian pathways, while in a comfortable and relaxed position.. This safe and painless insertion of the needles can unblock the obstruction and balance Qi where it has become unbalanced.

This treatment affects Qi to freely circulate throughout the body, providing adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. This can eliminate pain, restoring balance and harmony, as well as the body’s ability to heal itself. which ultimately leads to optimal health and well-being.

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient form of deep tissue massage in which a partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. It is used to stimulate the flow of blood, lymph, and energy to the affected area. Cupping causes tissue to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, activate and clear the veins, arteries, and capillaries, and activate the skin.

During the session small, round glass cups are placed on the skin, over acupuncture points, a vacuum is created drawing the skin and muscle up tightly. When the cup is released the blood, energy, and lymph flow more vigorously. It is an amazing way to relieve pain and congestion in the back, or to relieve lung congestion due to an infection.
