In treatment, thin, sterilized and disposable needles are used to painlessly stimulate
selected points on the body in order to manipulate the patient’s qi and restore balance.
Most patients find the treatments relaxing and fall into a deep and health promoting
meditative state. It is also common for patients to feel varying qi sensations, which
include feelings of tingling, warmth and distention. These are all normal reactions to
acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture Points
The selection of acupuncture points is determined by the nature of the illness and the
constitution of the patient. The treatments are individualized for each patient because
no two conditions are alike. There are many factors involved in the development and
the resolution of an illness. To determine the best course of treatment, the duration
and severity of the disorders, as well as the constitutional strength of the patients are
carefully considered. This is done through examination of the pulse and the abdomen as
well as signs and symptoms.
Herbal Medicine, in the form of pills, has been used effectively for thousands of
years. It is an effective and convenient method of taking herbs. All ingredients are listed
and are 100% natural, containing no chemicals or pharmaceuticals. Herbal Medicine,
along with Tui Na (Chinese Massage Therapy), are adjunctive therapeutic modalities to
Acupuncture. They are combined with acupuncture when appropriate, in order to
complement and accelerate the healing process.
