The value of
a therapy like acupuncture leads us to
embrace a different kind of healing. My approach comes
from the realization that no two people share exactly the
same illness and that treatments should be customized
for each persons specific constitution and symptoms.
Preventive measures like Acupuncture & Chinese
medicine is the key to long term health and can help
you take charge of your health to feel better today
as well as in the future.
Traditional
Chinese medical theory holds that acupuncture, the insertion of
tiny stainless steel needles into specific points at the surface
of the skin, realigns energy pathways in our bodies which have become
blocked. These blockages hinder natures balance and function
and prevents the body from performing its job of healing itself,
best known as a healthy functioning immune system. Western medical
views are that needling stimulates the release of endorphins, the
human bodies natural painkillers. This subtle approach helps restore
balance to the body, mind and spirit. Also in particular, Chinese
medicine can be an excellent and effective tool to use at the beginning
of any disease or for a disease which modern Western medicine has
minimal effect.
When it comes
to acupuncture, there is no simple
explanation for how and why it relieves pain so effectively.
Three thousand years of practice in Asia and Europe,
and thousands of clinical studies, have shown that
acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a complete
medical system which attempts to treat a full range
of diseases and is proven effective against many illnesses,
from asthma to ulcers, back pain to chronic fatigue, insomnia
to gynecology. With due respect it is important to note that
modern western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine
are currently the two dominant medical systems in the world today.
