Traditional Chinese Acupuncture Care
Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved over the past 3,500 years into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this non-invasive medical system to diagnose and help millions of people become well and stay well.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are numerous points on the body linked together by "meridians". These "nerve centers" control the flow of our vital life energy called 'Qi'. Health is determined by the quantity and quality of Qi flowing along these meridian pathways in the body. Illness only results when Qi is not flowing smoothly and becomes 'stuck' or 'blocked'. To rebalance the body, acupuncturists insert very thin needles to stimulate the flow of Qi. It is a self-healing process that has produced undeniable results for thousands of years without unnecessary surgery or drugs which may cause unnecessary side effects.

Obvious symptoms & signs
Frequent visits to promote quick recovery
Most patients begin treatment in order to obtain quick relief from pain, discomfort and other symptoms. Frequent visits over the next few weeks are necessary during Relief Care to promote quick recovery. Each treatment builds upon the progress made from the previous treatment, so it is important not to miss your scheduled visits. Your body’s Immune System determines your rate of response to Chinese Medicine. During the Relief Phase of Care, you will notice that your discomfort and symptoms have been dramatically reduced or eliminated. You are now ready to progress to Corrective Care.
Symtoms & signs disappear
Less frequent visits as you feel better
Due to the progress made thus far, visits during Corrective Care are less frequent. Treatments during this time support and maintain the changes you have achieved, and provide a foundation for deeper healing to occur. This is also a time where underlying problems and chronic health imbalances will be addressed. Although you may not experience symptoms during this time, it is important to continue to strengthen and support your body’s Immune System so that symptoms do not return.
You feel great
“Tune-ups” help maintain health & vitality
Care received during Maintenance serves as preventative maintenance and preserves all the progress you have made up until now. Visits may be monthly, every-other month or seasonal. Much the same way we bring a car in for oil changes or tune-ups to keep it running smoothly, periodic visits to your acupuncturist can keep you running smoothly. These preventative maintenance tune-ups further strengthen your body’s Immune System, keeping you healthy, balanced and potentially free from illness. Little problems may be caught before they become major concerns. You will find that as your body becomes more healthy and balanced, you will naturally seek a healthier, balanced diet and lifestyle.
