During the initial exam a full health history is taken. Questions are asked regarding your health, symptoms and lifestyle. A physical exam is conducted, including pulse and tongue diagnosis.
Gathering this information enables our practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of Qi that may have contributed to health problems you may be experiencing. Our practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan.
Once the imbalances of Qi are detected, our acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways. This safe and painless insertion of the needles can unblock the obstruction and balance Qi where it has become unbalanced. Once this is done, Qi can freely circulate throughout the body, providing adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. This can eliminate pain and restore balance and harmony, as well as the body’s ability to heal itself—ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a safe, effective and drug-free therapy that can help address a wide variety of common ailments and problems.
