What is Acupuncture?

Picture


Acupuncture is a method of helping the body to promote natural healing and to improve health. The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy (qi) run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface nourishing and supporting every cell, gland, organ and tissue. These channels, called meridians and are like rivers flowing through the body affecting blood flow to various organs structures. An obstruction in the movement of these energetic rivers is like a dam that blocks the flow. When and obstruction, deficiencies or excess of energy occurs it can lead to pain, discomfort, and/or a variety of other symptoms/disease.

An acupuncturist can influence the meridians by inserting a tiny needle into very precise acupuncture points. This unblocks and reestablishes the flow through the medians therefore treating the root of the cause and improving health.

F.A.Q.

Picture
What should I expect on my first visit?  
The first visit to an acupuncturist usually begins with the practitioner taking a detailed history. After review, the practitioner will begin diagnosing your ailment. A visual examination of the tongue and palpation of  the pulse will give the acupuncturist information to diagnose the patient. 

How many treatments do I need?
The number of treatment depends on the seriousness of your condition. A typical course of acupuncture treatment is 10 sessions, although significant improvements can occur after just a few visits. Your first visit may take 90 minutes due to the initial intake and interview, with subsequent visits lasting about 30-60 minutes.


Does it hurt? 

Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and hair-thin  They are also inserted to much more shallow levels than hypodermic needles, generally no more than 1/2 -inch to an inch. While each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel only a minimal amount of sensation as the needles are inserted. Some people report feeling a sensation dull acheyness, while others feel relaxed. I use a very gentle technique and tiny needles to create maximum comfort.

Are the needles sterile?
Yes, all the needles are sterile and only used one time.
