What is Acupuncture?
Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called Yin and Yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy or Qi (chee) along the meridian pathways thought of as channels through which the body's energy flows. It is believed that disease is a direct result of this disruption. Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of Qi by inserting and manipulating hair-thin needles at specific points along the channels. This helps promote the body's natural balance as well as its ability to heal itself.
Acupuncture returns the body to its
natural state of balance and harmony.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes. Acupuncture is safely used by millions of Americans every year. Acupuncturists are required to undergo extensive education, including detailed study of human anatomy, training in Clean Needle Technique, and thousands of clinical hours interning and treating patients. I have passed comprehensive national board examinations administered by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and am licensed by the state. As required by law, I use pre-sterilized, disposable, single-use needles to ensure your complete safety.
