ACUPUNCTURE

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

ACUPUNCTURE IS A COMPONENT OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OF CHINA THAT CAN BE TRACED BACK TO AT LEAST 2,500 YEARS. THE GENERAL THEORY IS THAT THERE ARE PATTERNS OF ENERGY FLOW (QI) THROUGH THE BODY THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR HEALTH.DISRUPTION OF THIS FLOW IS BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DISEASE. WE COMBINE THE PROVEN EFFECTS OF oriental Medicine WITH THE HEALING EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE. WITH THIS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FORMULA, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP OUR CLIENTS Pain Management,HAIR LOSS,ALLERGY,QUIT SMOKING ALONG WITH WEIGHT CONTROL AND APPETITE REDUCTION.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PATIENTS FIRST FILL OUT A QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT THEIR HISTORY. AFTER PERFORMING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, Our Doctor of ACUPUNCTURE AND ORIENTAL MEDICINE  WILL STRATEGICALLY PLACE NEEDLES ON PRESSURE POINTS TO REGULATE BLOOD FLOW TO TROUBLE SPOTS VIA MAJOR PATHWAYS IN THE BODY, THUS RESULTING IN RELAXED MUSCLES WITH LESS SWELLING, TENSION AND PAIN. THE NEEDLES TRIGGER THE RELEASE OF ENDORPHINS INTO THE BRAIN, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FEELING OF WELL-BEING. 

WHAT DOES ACUPUNCTURE TREAT?

ACUPUNCTURE ALONG WITH THE USE TO TREAT BLADDER SPASMS, CERVICAL CANCER, CHRONIC PAIN, FIBROMYALGIA, NECK PAIN, NON HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA, POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA, RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME, SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER AND MUCH MORE. 

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

THE NUMBER OF TREATMENT SESSIONS, WHICH LAST ABOUT 60 TO 150 VARIES IN PRICING. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE INJURY OR THE REQUIRED TREATMENT; HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT CAN OCCUR AFTER JUST A FEW VISITS.

DOES IT HURT?

UNLIKE HYPODERMIC NEEDLES, WHICH ARE USED FOR GIVING AN INJECTION, ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLES ARE HAIR-THIN. PATIENTS ASSOCIATE NEEDLE PAIN WITH THE SAME PAIN AS RECEIVING AN INJECTION, BUT ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLES ARE VIRTUALLY PAINLESS. THE NEEDLES ARE INSERTED PAST THE SKIN NERVES SO THERE IS NO PAIN. 

OTHER SERVICES

TUINA:

TUINA (PRONOUNCED "TWEE NAH") IS A FORM OF ORIENTAL BODYWORK THAT HAS BEEN USED IN CHINA FOR CENTURIES. A COMBINATION OF MASSAGE, ACUPRESSURE AND OTHER FORMS OF BODY MANIPULATION, TUINA WORKS BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO ACU-POINTS, MERIDIANS AND GROUPS OF MUSCLES OR NERVES TO REMOVE BLOCKAGES THAT PREVENT THE FREE FLOW OF QI. REMOVING THESE BLOCKAGES RESTORES THE BALANCE OF QI IN THE BODY, LEADING TO IMPROVED HEALTH AND VITALITY.

CUPPING:

CUPPING IS ONE OF THE OLDEST METHODS OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE. IN A TYPICAL CUPPING SESSION, GLASS CUPS ARE WARMED BY BURNING A SUBSTANCE INSIDE THE CUP TO CREATE A VACUUM. A PRACTITIONER THEN PLACES THE CUP UPSIDE-DOWN OVER A SPECIFIC AREA OF THE PATIENT’S BODY. THE VACUUM ANCHORS THE CUP TO THE SKIN AND PULLS IT. DRAWING UP THE SKIN HELPS TO STIMULATE THE FLOW OF BLOOD, BALANCE THE FLOW OF ENERGY, BREAK UP OBSTRUCTIONS, AND CREATE A CHANNEL FOR TOXINS TO BE DRAWN OUT OF THE BODY. CUPPING IS USED FOR MASSAGE, TO TREAT VARIOUS CONDITIONS, AND TO REDUCE CELLULITE.

HERBAL MEDICINE:

HERBAL MEDICINE, ALSO KNOWN AS HERBALISM OR BOTANICAL MEDICINE, IS A MEDICAL SYSTEM BASED ON THE USE OF PLANTS OR PLANT EXTRACTS THAT MAY BE EATEN OR APPLIED TO THE SKIN. SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, HERBAL MEDICINE HAS BEEN USED BY MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TO TREAT ILLNESS AND TO ASSIST BODILY FUNCTIONS.  HERBAL REMEDIES IN THE FORM OF EXTRACTS, TINCTURES, SALVES, TEAS, CAPSULES AND TABLETS AS WELL AS ADDED TO YOUR MEAL, OR EVEN BATH/SOAK IN MAY BE RECOMMENDED BY HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS OF MANY DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES AS A PRACTICAL WAY TO ADDRESS A WIDE VARIETY OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

THE THEORY UNDERLYING THIS INNOVATIVE APPROACH OFFERS EXPLANATION DRAWN FROM QUANTUM PHYSICS, INFORMATION-PROCESSING MODELS, AND LEADING-EDGE BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH. THIS RESULTING THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS ARE REMARKABLY QUICK AND FUNDAMENTALLY THOROUGH. THE APPROACH HAS PROVED ITSELF THROUGH WIDE SCALE CLINICAL RESULTS IN NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA.
