Can Acupuncture help me? Yes. In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy. Hundreds of clinical studies have proven it. Acupuncture has been successfully making people feel better for over 3,000 years. How does Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine work? Ancient Chinese secrets, right? No, it’s science. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a science that uses Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to assist the body in healing itself. Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points. We insert fine, sterile needles into the skin. I might also use massage, heat, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines. Health is when the body systems are in balance, everything “functioning” properly. If the flow of your nerve energy gets blocked or the blood flow interrupted, it’s like a traffic jam. The disruption can cause pain, lack of function, or illness. Modern research has demonstrated Acupuncture’s effects on your body’s nervous, endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to resolve pain, improve sleep, digestive function, and increase your sense of well-being. What happens during an acupuncture treatment? I listen. I want to get to know you and your health history. Then, I perform a physical examination. Finally, recommending a proper treatment plan. Then you lay comfortably on a treatment table while precise acupoints are stimulated on various areas of your body. Most people feel no pain or discomfort as the fine needles are gently placed. The needles are usually retained between five and 30 minutes. Most people feel very relaxed. How many treatments will I need? The frequency and number of treatments differ from person to person. Some people experience dramatic relief in the first treatment. An individualized treatment plan will be discussed during your initial visit. What conditions are commonly treated by acupuncture? Hundreds of clinical studies of acupuncture show that it successfully treats: allergies, arthritis, back pain, neck pain, any pain, nausea, migraine headaches, anxiety, depression, indigestion, GERD, insomnia, and infertility, correcting the position of a breach baby, induction of labor, morning sickness…just to name a few.
