Encouraging
your vital energies back to a state of equilibrium, using
one of the oldest forms of natural healing.
The insertion of very fine, disposable needles, through the
skin, and into specific points on the body's energy
networks. Occasionally that can be a little bit sore as the
needles are inserted. However that minor discomfort, if
felt, will soon fade from your memory, as you relax deeply
on the treatment table, and enjoy the feelings, and
effects, of your Qi flow returning to balance.
After they are in place I may manually stimulate the
needles, or stimulate them with a mild electric current, or
just leave them be, depending on what is most appropriate
for your treatment on any given day.
Acupuncture can be combined with Tui Na., as an even more
powerful approach that is particularly appropriate for
treating injuries, and pain.
Usually,
one-hour appointments.
If combined with Tui Na, one and a half hour, and sometimes
two-hour appointments, are more preferable.
