Ancient healing with a promising future in America.
To give you a basic idea of how acupuncture works, I look at it as a fourth circulation system. The nervous system sends electricity to and from the brain to control functions and sense our environment.
Blood
 circulation
carries nutrients to body parts for healing, growth, and carries away waste. The lymphatics carry waste away from healing injured parts (kind of like the bodies' sewer system). The meridian, or acupuncture system, carries the electromagnetic energy.
That is the why and how the body works - why the brain thinks, why the heart pumps, why the liver metabolizes, etc.
When an area of the body is injured physically, emotionally, or otherwise, imbalances or barriers can occur. Like a dam in a river, pressure builds up on the back side and drowns everything upstream, and downstream the area dries up from no water. Our goal is the break down the dam and create a normal flow of water, or in our case,
electromagnetic energy. We do this by using needles to punch holes in the dam. As the pressure is released, so is the pain and dysfunction, from headaches to belly pain, back pain, stomach problems, painful menses, perimenopausal symptoms, neck and arm pain, low back pain, and leg pain, etc. Nearly any symptom imaginable. The picture above shows a dramatic
positive "erythema" response. This is very good.
Most all pain can be treated with acupuncture. We have used it for acute pain, injuries, and chronic pain. Acupuncture uses very thin needles, about the thickness of your hair, inserted into acupoints, 1000s on the body for healing and pain control. Very little pain, if any, is felt when performed correctly.
We have had success
lately in treating colicky babies, menstrual pain, migraine headaches,
weight loss, depression, addiction withdrawl, low back and neck pain, anxiety and even chronic pain!
