There are various types of “Acupuncture.” In general, acupuncture-type modalities stimulate the body to move through blockages and return to equilibrium in the body so it can do what it does best, heal itself.

Acupuncture uses filiform (solid, not hollow) needles, about the width of two strands of hair. It’s a safe, time-tested, low-risk modality that includes puncturing the skin at precise anatomical sites around the entire body. It is used to relieve symptoms related to imbalance or disease. Sterile, single-use, very thin needles are inserted superficially into the skin. This creates a heavy sensation in the body which means the process is working.

Acupressure is a needle-free option where a finger or tool is used to apply pressure to an acupuncture point. With some instruction, it can be performed at home.

ElectroAcupuncture is a modern procedure of acupuncture that uses electricity combined with the benefits of needling. Weak electrical currents pass between needles into acupuncture points in the skin. Particularly useful for pain conditions. Also known as e-stimulation, or electro-stimulation.

Auricular (ear) acupuncture is a diagnostic and treatment system designed to harmonize areas of dysfunction throughout the body by stimulating points on the ear. Known for calming the mind, treating pain & chronic conditions, regulating the endocrine system, and also for withdrawal syndromes. This modality can be used on its own and is also often combined with acupuncture points on the body.

No, not every patient is a good candidate for acupuncture. Patients still get benefits from needle-free treatments and other service offerings better suited for you.

Treatment includes acupuncture/pressure appropriate for your preferences and goals as well as a unique combination of additional services at no extra cost (except herbs).

Heat Therapy: TDP Heat Lamp promotes blood circulation and helps with muscle relief. The absorbed energy facilitates metabolism and microcirculation, enhancing the immune system.

Herbs: Used for over 2,000 years, this ancient nature-based medicine treats a variety of health concerns. It focuses on the entire human being, not just the symptoms or disease. The format includes capsules, plasters, ointments, liniments, powders, and raw-herb decoctions.

Cupping: Suction or fire cups are placed on the skin to ease pain due to causes such as tight muscles, injury, or sudden cold onset. This ancient practice of Chinese Medicine is widely used today.

Oriental Massage: Shitasu is a form of acupressure massage. It is performed over loose-fitting clothes and requires no disrobing. Originating in Japan, this style of practice started around the 1900’s and has older ancient roots in a massage form called anma.

Qigong and Yoga: Feel like yourself again with these simple practices. Movement-based meditation is the modern term for healing modalities such as yoga and qigong. They incorporate movement, breathwork, concentration, and balance to unblock areas of disharmony. Used for a variety of conditions such as chronic pain, stress, anxious feelings and depressed mood.

Lifestyle advice: Treatment doesn’t end in the room. Using a gentle approach, practitioners are trained in giving lifestyle advice that provides therapeutic benefit to the overall treatment plan.

Diet/Nutrition: What someone eats does impact their health and the overall gut-brain connection. Through listening and goal setting, patients are provided with simple diet recommendations to prolong treatment.

A scientifically-proven system of medicine used to diagnose, prevent and treat disease. It is rooted in the belief that the body’s vital energy flows along certain pathways in the body. The harmony and free-flow throughout these pathways keep a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health in balance. When there is an imbalance, the body manifests with dis-ease. The aim of Chinese Medicine includes restoring homeostasis to the natural opposing forces in the body. It includes but is not limited to lifestyle advice, acupuncture, acupressure, herbal theory, diet, meditation, massage, and physical exercise. Also called TCM and Oriental Medicine. TCM aims to bridge the gap between east and west.

Coursework for this profession also includes extensive Western Biomedical coursework such as anatomy, physiology, western clinical diagnosis, and pharmacology. Along with passing the Western Biomedical board exam.

Think East meets West, the blending of time-tested medicine designed to treat short-term and long-term conditions. Integrative medicine provides safe and effective solutions to patients by combining conventional approaches (surgery, drugs) with complementary therapy (such as traditional Chinese medicine and yoga). The practitioner will recommend you continue seeing conventional providers and stays current on lab work, etc. There’s a time and place for both and studies have shown combining offers the best outcome for the patient.
