What to Expect during a visit:
During the initial exam a full health history will be taken. Questions are asked regarding health, symptoms and life-style. Pulse and tongue diagnosis, along with an appropriate physical exam is conducted.
The information is then organized into a well structured treatment plan. This enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances that may have contributed to a person’s health problem(s).
Once the imbalance(s) are detected, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways. This safe and painless insertion of the needles can unblock the obstruction in the meridians, and balance the patient where they have become unbalanced. This eliminates pain, restores balance and harmony along with the body’s natural ability to heal itself, ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being.
Other Services That May be Used Along with Acupuncture:
Electro Acupuncture: Is a process where slight stimulation is added to acupuncture needles. I have found tight shoulders and backs loosen up with this technique.
Cupping: This is a technique where cups are placed on the body in order to draw stagnant blood that resides deep in the tissue up towards the surface of the skin. I have found it to be very effective for musculator-sketal disorders.
Moxibustion: This is a process where heat is used to warm the meridians and expel cold. It is used to treat cold dampness that has penetrated into deep muscles.
Chinese Herbal Formulas: For thousands of years the Chinese have used plants found only in nature to help counteract disease. Very safe, very effective, herbal formulas can improve or cure almost any condition. I often use herbal formulas in conjunction with acupuncture treatments.
Low Level Laser Therapy: This is the newest form of therapy I use. A safe light actually penetrates into the skin, helping with cell regeneration. Low level laser therapy is great for skin problems and face rejuvenation, as well as for smoking cessation
