Acupuncture and Adjunct Therapies

Qi:  the vital energy
within us that enlivens
our body, mind and spirit 

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that works with the Qi to regulate metabolism and support health and well-being.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, pre-sterilized, disposable needles at specific points on the body, known as “acupuncture points”, in order to stimulate the Qi. Acupuncture points are located along lines of energy, or “meridians.” An acupuncturist selects a group of points which act together to restore balance to the body as a whole.

Traditional Chinese Medicine tells us that health is a question of balance.

This ancient concept of balance is much like our western concept of homeostasis: the tendency of a living body to regulate itself to keep everything about itself as constant as possible.

Acupuncture can be used both as an alternative approach to health care and as a complementary approach to conventional medical care. Many physicians now acknowledge the benefits of acupuncture, especially in the area of pain management.

The World Health Organization recognizes a broad range of disorders that respond well to acupuncture including:

Adjunct therapies include acupressure, microcurrent electrotherapy, facial rejuvenation, cranialsacral therapy and guided relaxation.
