Oriental Wisdom

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the painless insertion of very fine, sterile, single use needles to gently stimulate specific points along your bodys network of energy channels to regulate and restore the natural flow of Qi. Your body is infused and surrounded by fields of energy and the meridians or "energy channels" of oriental medicine are intimately related to these energy fields. Once the needles are inserted you may feel sensations of heaviness, tingling, or release as the energy of the point is activated and you begin your journey to optimal health.

It is important to note that everyone responds differently to treatment and so it is often difficult to be specific about how many treatments are required.

A good rule of thumb is that the more chronic a problem the longer the course of treatments, the more serious the condition the more frequent the course should be. Acupuncture is a gentle mode of healing so a course of treatments is often recommended to get lasting results.

Additionally, acupuncture is as much a system of prevention as cure and so regular treatments, be they monthly or seasonally, are sometimes recommended for maintenance of your overall well being.

Consultations

Consultations involve an inquiry into all your signs and symptoms as well as your medical history, looking at your tongue and feeling your pulse to form a diagnosis of both your constitution and your current condition so that an appropriate course of treatment can be discussed and implemented.

Acupuncture is appropriate for all ages and stages of growth and development. Babies and children greatly benefit from specially modified gentle acupuncture/acupressure techniques.

The effectiveness of acupuncture may be enhanced by the use of supplementary techniques such as Moxibustion, Gua Sha and Cupping.
