What is Acupuncture And Oriental Medicine

The traditional Chinese Medicine is a system of diagnosis and healthcare approaches that has been used and diagnose, treat and prevent illness that has evolved over last 5,000 years.

Acupuncture is based on the recognition in that human beings are unique bio-energetic systems, driven by a vital life force.  In the western, we call this force energy; oriental medicine defines it as "Qi" (Chi). Qi or energy flows along pathways in the body, as much as streams and rivers flow across the surface of the Earth.  When the flow of Qi is obstructed by trauma, poor diet, stress, hereditary conditions, or emotional distress, pain or illness is the likely to result.  Oriental medicine corrects this energy imbalance by eliminating the obstructions and restoring even flow of Qi, which in turn stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself.       

The body's pathway, throught which Qi flows, consist of networks of organs and
the neuro-muscular system.  All of the networks and systems have a corresponding set of points and channels.  Acupuncture points located in small depressions in the skin called "men" or "gates" where the channels come closed to steer the flow of Qi to the areas that need to be strengthened and heated.

• Qi moves blood around the body.
• Qi hold the blood in the blood vessels.
• Blood nourishes Qi.

How does Acupuncture work ?  

It has been determined that human beings are bioenergetics systems.  When the balance of this balance of this energy is disturbed, pain or illness results.  Acupuncture treatment corrects the energetic imbalance by encouraging the body's natural ability to heal itself, without the use of drugs or surgery.

Acupuncture is a Safe, drug free approach to healing. It can be used to heal specific conditions and to provide a state of well being for your body by stimulating your body's natural immune system.  

Acupuncture is becoming a more popular choice for treatment and healing.

In recent years in the U.S.,  its success is to provide great benefits to those who were not able to be helped by conventional medical methods.

Acupuncture Stimulates, manages and balances energy and blood flow through the channels in your body (Meridian and Collaterals.  Which connect your vital organs).  Body function is your meridians.  The needles are individually package, sterile, and used only once, therefore eliminating any risk of infection.

What Acupuncture is a treatment like? 

Extremely fine, hair-thin, flexible needles are place at specific points on the energetic pathways leading to the organs, muscles and nerves of the body.  When the needle are inserted, you may experience some sensation e.g. tingling or warmth.  Some people feel no sensationat all.  People are surprised to find that treatments are actually quite relaxing.

What is Laser Acupuncture ?

Laser Acupuncture is used to treat the same kind of ailments traditional Acupncture treats; an anesthetic effect and the stimulation of Acupuncture points in a therapeutic program.  The procedure has some distinct advantages over the traditional needle method.  Some patients who are usually afraid of needles, such as children, prefer laser acupuncture.  Use of a Laser makes it a typically noninvasive, aseptic procedure, which significantly reduces the pain and recovery time associated with invasive treatments.  Generally, Laser Acupuncture can treat the same range of complaints as needle acupuncture.
