Acupuncture

What’s Acupuncture?  

ACUPUNCTURE This ancient Chinese technique promotes the body’s ability to heal naturally. Our doctor will place very thin, sterile needles into precise acupuncture points around the body. According to the Chinese medicine, these needles help improve the f low of Qi (pronounced “chee”), or life energy, through the body, thus improving its function. Many scientific studies demonstrate the profound effect acupuncture can have on the body’s ability to repair itself.

ELECTRO-STIMULATION ACUPUNCTURE The procedure for electro-acupuncture is to insert the acupuncture needle as would normally be done, attain the Qi reaction by hand manipulation, and then attach an electrode to the needle to provide continued stimulation. HERBAL MEDICINE We uses well-established herbal products from reputable companies in the US under strict quality control. Herbal medicine is in the form of decoction (raw herb liquid concentrate), tab­lets, or granules. These are quite different from west­ern drugs. These treatments require patient to slowly build up to the dose which may take a few weeks before an effect is noted, and have far less side ef­fects and contraindications than western drugs.

CUPPING Cupping is a method of treating disease by causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in jars, usually by means of heat or suction, which are then applied to the skin, drawing up the underlying tissues and forming blood stasis.  

ACUPRESSURE

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese technique based on the principles of acupuncture, and involves the use of finger pressure (without the needles) on specific points along the body. 
Acupressure is a way of accessing and releasing  blocked  or  congested energy centers in the body.  Acupressure massage therapy stimulates and activates the body’s own energies to help fight illness and restore harmony.
