 | What is Acupuncture?
It is a comprehensive medical
system over 3000 years old, originating in China. It uses very fine
needles specifically placed along energy pathways that run through our
bodies. These needles regulate our body's natural energy Qi (chee).
Health is seen as our Qi being harmonious and balanced, if the flow is
disrupted, illness occurs.
|
 | The needles:
Are very thin in width, it
can be compared to a strand of human hair. They are solid and fine. The
needles are sterile, single use and disposable. When needled you may
experience a range of sensations: mosquito like pinch, dull achy
feeling, heat, itching or a pulsating feeling. The majority of people
find the treatment comfortable and relaxing.
|
 | What to expect:
Your first visit will consist
of a comprehensive health interview and an examination to evaluate the
kind of imbalances that create your symptoms. This session will
include: health history questions, pulse analysis, tongue inspection,
abdomen palpitation, which are all used to develop a diagnosis and
treatment plan. Together we will create a plan specific to you. All
treatments there after will consist of a follow-up interview and full
treatment of the front and back of the body.
