Acupuncture is a therapy that uses the application of needles and pressure to specific points on the body in order to manipulate the energy flow within the body.  The stimulated points are grouped along certain lines of energy flow called meridians.  Health is maintained when the body’s energy flows freely along these pathways.  If the flow of energy is deficient or disrupted, health is not maintained which results in illness or pain.

Acupuncturists use a system of corollaries to diagnose and treat.  Because no two patients are the same, an extensive interview is given to provide vital clues to the patient’s overall health. Each treatment is then personalized to the individual’s signs and symptoms.  The treatment may include a number of different techniques including acupuncture, acupressure, electrical stimulation, Chinese herbal formulas, nutritional recommendations, and energy flow exercises.

An acupuncture treatment consists of inserting tiny thin needles at various locations into the body.  The number of needles and locations depends on the patient’s signs and symptoms. The presterilized disposable needles are designed to be virtually painless.  During the treatment the patient may feel some pressure, heaviness, a dull aching distension, tingling of electrical sensation either around the needle or traveling up and down the meridian.  Most patients find an acupuncture treatment very relaxing.
