Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include: • Pain reduction • Stress and tension relief • Increased energy levels • Stronger digestion • Improved immune function • Relief from addictions • Greater sense of overall health and well-being The following is a partial list of conditions Acupuncture is found to be helpful with: Back pain, Knee pain, Shoulder pain, Neck pain, Abdominal pain, Sciatica, Tendonitis, Headaches, Anxiety, Fatigue, Depression, Insomnia, Addiction (smoking cessation, alcohol, drugs), Allergic rhinitis (including hay fever), Constipation, Diarrhea, IBS, Cold and Flu, Ear aches, Dermatological disorders, Dizziness, Facial pain, Hypertension (high blood pressure) Hypotension (low), Nausea and vomiting, Pain, Postoperative pain, Respiratory disorders, Common cold, Sore throat, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Shingles, Bell's palsy, Cycle regulation, Cramps (menstrual), Infertility (men or women), Induction of labor, Malposition of fetus, Morning sickness, Weight control and weight issues, general wellness and much more. Electro-acupuncture is a highly effective holistic treatment for pain, nausea, and chronic ailments. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the same system of Chinese Medicine, I insert very thin and sterile needles into specific points along the meridians of your body. I then attach the needles to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being. Electro-acupuncture may be part of your regular Acupuncture visit if needed. |
