How does it Work?
The ancient Chinese believed that within the body, there are channels of energy called meridians, which regulate your body's functions. Any imbalance in energy or qi (pronounced chee) causes illness. With acupuncture, needles are used to manipulate the energy along meridians and their corresponding organs in order to bring about balance. From a western viewpoint, we know that all matter is made up of atoms. The building blocks of atoms are essentially bundles of energy which vibrate at different frequencies to form different atoms. The needles are used to restore the original frequency (balance-harmony-good health) bringing about a balance in energy.

Herbal prescriptions (raw herbs or prepared supplements) are often used in conjunction with an acupuncture treatment or may be used in place of acupuncture. Each herb in a prescription has a particular function. Unlike Western pharmaceuticals which may use the isolated active ingredient of an herb to treat a disease or a synthetic version of an active ingredient, most herbologists work on the premise that a herb should be used in its entirety. There are complementary ingredients in an herb that balance out the main ingredients. This is why there are so few side effects with most herbs and herbal formulas.

Does it Hurt?
Some acupuncture points may be sensitive. The most pain clients usually feel is equal to someone pressing their finger on your arm with moderate pressure. Any pain usually disappears within seconds after the needle is inserted.

Merging the legacy of acupuncture, an independent medical system, with modern western practice can provide a rich tapestry of healing that encompasses a wide diversity of symptoms, such as neck, back and sciatic pain, digestive disorders, menstrual cycle irregularities and symptoms, infertility, auto immune disorder, impotence and joint pain, also mental/emotional disturbances causing depression and insomnia. Acupuncture has many treatment modalities and perspectives, many especially suited for chronic diseases that are difficult to cure or even diagnose.

Other modalities include Electrical stimulation, cupping, moxa, qua sha, auricular therapy (ear acupuncture) and the extremely powerful healing benefits of herbal medicinals.
