Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine as Primary Care
Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved over 3000 years into a complete holistic system of medical theory and practice. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be used to treat ailments on their own or in adjunct to western medical care. The main theory of Acupuncture is in promoting the body’s natural ability to heal itself through re-patterning Qi and Body Fluids in the body. This can be used to enhance recuperative power and immunity; support physical, mental, and emotional health; and improve overall function and well-being of the body.
Acupuncture + Modern Science
From the scientific perspective, stimulation of acupuncture points by needles, pressure, adjunct tools, essential oils, and stones causes the release of various body chemicals and hormones that re-pattern the body’s ability to function properly on its own and heal naturally. This influences your body to heal more quickly and even alters how you experience your pain.
Acupuncture is recognized by leading national and international health organizations to be effective for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments, including and not limited to: primary care, reproductive and sexual health, allergies, anxiety, joint and muscle pain, menopause, stress, pregnancy care and support, postoperative pain, various forms of addiction, HIV/ AIDS, hypertension and hypotension, facial pain, diabetes, depression, colds and flu, cancer care and support, autoimmune diseases, asthma, hay fever, headaches, IBS, PTSD, and seasonal affective disorders.
