Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment is based on an oriental medical diagnosis that includes an assessment of pulse quality, shape and color of the tongue, medical history and whole body evaluation.
Following the diagnosis, acupuncture points are chosen on the body along acupuncture meridians, or pathways. Needle stimulation of these points increases the body’s healing energy or qi. The body has approximately 360 acupuncture points.
Qi circulates throughout the body within the meridians, which also are related to the internal organs. Qi surfaces to the skin level at specific points which the acupuncturist manipulates according to the diagnosis. We work with the body’s energy system, like tuning a car, to help it to run optimally by bringing it into balance thereby treating a wide range of disorders.
