Acupuncture 

Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine that originated in China more than 2000 years ago. It is now being widely used in many countries around the world. Acupuncture became popular in the United States in the early 70’s and is used to treat many different health syndromes.  In Canada today, many of us are beginning to see the health benefits that acupuncture treatments can provide us. 

Acupuncture treatments are based on the premise that, by inserting fine sterile needles into specific acupoints, changes will occur in the body’s energy flow. Certain acupuncture points are chosen that relate to correction of specific symptoms, conditions or weakness in a person’s body. 

By making energy changes along the various channels in the body, blockages in energy can be cleared and circulation restored to the under active tissues causing the problems. The Chinese call this movement of vital energy “Qi” and they have a saying, “Where Qi goes blood follows”. Promoting a proper the flow of Qi energy in the body can help to balance Yin /Yang and bring a better balance to the body mind and spirit.

 In my Practice

 In my acupuncture practice I offer a relaxed treatment which may include various other therapies along with sterile acupuncture needles to restore balance to the body or to relieve pain. I keep a clean, comfortable work space.

                         ALL NEEDLES ARE NEW STERILE and DISPOSED OF SAFELY AFTER EACH TREATMENT.

 Moxibustion or heat lamp - To warm needles, to expel dampness and further promotes proper circulation to areas affected.

 Cupping- Promote blood to deeper blocked areas.

 Electric Stimulation - To promote movement of blockages that are stubborn to clear.

 Auricular Acupuncture - Ear seeds or imbedded needles.
 

 Massage Technique - Minor massage to affected area after needles are removed to further release and relax muscles and      tissues.

 Herbs and Remedies - Recommendations of remedies to correct specific conditions may be required in some cases.
