In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qi is the vital life energy that flows throughout the body. This energy originates from the major organs and moves along meridians, or energy channels. When Qi flows smoothly and harmoniously, the body and mind are healthy. When the flow is blocked or imbalanced, illness, pain, or fatigue can occur.
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along the meridians with fine, sterile needles to restore balance, improve energy flow, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
After your initial TCM consultation, if acupuncture is appropriate, we will begin treatment using ultra-thin, disposable needles. Most people experience little to no discomfort upon insertion.
The number of needles and points used is tailored to your unique needs. Typically, needles remain in place for about 20 minutes, allowing your body to relax and rejuvenate in the calm and peaceful environment of the treatment room. Many clients experience a deep state of relaxation, and some even drift into a restful sleep as endorphins are naturally released.
Also called Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS), this technique delivers a gentle electrical pulse through needles to relax tight muscles and enhance healing. It’s used for chronic pain, physical rehabilitation, insomnia, depression, obesity, substance abuse, and facial rejuvenation.
