Acupuncture for Your Needs
Your initial appointment involves a detailed assessment of your health history and current health concerns. This includes questions based on basic functioning and lifestyle factors such as digestion, sleep, aches and pains, emotional state, diet, exercise, etc.
Oriental diagnostics are done at every treatment appointment to asses the status of your Qi and well-being: tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, Japanese abdominal diagnosis. We are always looking for the underlying imbalances that contribute to the symptoms or problems you experience. The insertion of acupuncture needles at specific points on the energy channels (also called meridians) of the body is designed to rectify imbalances and restore smooth and harmonious Qi flow, which equals health and wellness.
Acupuncture: What to Expect
The experience of an acupuncture treatment is one of deep relaxation. Many people fall asleep during their treatments. This relaxation and stress relief usually persists for some time after a treatment. The deep Qi balancing also results in decreased physical pain and increased mobility for musculoskeletal problems.
Acupuncture: How It’s Done
We primarily do a form of acupuncture developed in Japan called "Japanese Meridian therapy." This is an extremely gentle type of acupuncture using exceptionally fine needles. All our needles are pre-sterilized and disposable. Needles are usually retained for 20 minutes, first on the front and then the back of the body.
