Traditional Chinese medicine views disease as the result of an imbalance or blockage in the body's natural energy flow. This imbalance or blockage can result from trauma, poor died, medications, stress, hereditary conditions, environmental factors or excessive emotional issue.

Treatment visits last 45 to 60 minutes. Since each patient and each condition is unique, some patients may need just a few treatments, while others may require many. Initially, treatments are spaced only a few days apart, enabling us to get ahead, then stay ahead of a condition. Patients may receive two or three treatments per week in the beginning. The treatment frequency becomes less as the symptoms improve and the patient’s condition stabilizes.

What to Expect as a New Patient
Acupuncture 101

As awareness grows and misconceptions fade regarding the value of massage therapy, more and more people are discovering the profound benefits available to them through regular body work. The origins of therapeutic massage are rooted in the common instinctual response to hold and rub a hurt or pain. It is found in all cultures as an integral part of health care and maintenance.

Acupuncture and herbal treatments relating to weight loss are designed to affect body processes to facilitate positive change (balance):

• increase energy
• appetite control
• moving stagnant energy (Qi) - stagnant Qi prevents positive balance within the body, leading to illness or compromised function
• facilitating digestion
• increasing metabolism
• draining excessive dampness under the skin (which creates a fat-friendly environment)
• preventing obsessive eating tendencies.
• addressing food addictions
• hormone rebalancing
• decreasing stress level, thereby lowering cortisol levels

A sensible, balanced eating plan and exercise regimen is designed to elevate the patient's metabolism and eliminate potentially allergic or toxic foods.

For thousands of years, the "Orient" has known that beauty comes from the inside. The Chinese discovered and utilized ways to change the energy flow within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation. Though Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can sometimes be referred to as an Acupuncture Facelift, it is more than a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process. Facial Acupuncture helps to improve muscle tone and dermal contraction especially in the face and neck. Bags and sagging around the eyes, face, and neck can be significantly reduced and toned up. Healthy facial coloring can be restored and there can be a tightening of the pores. Habitual expressions resulting from stress are transformed, resulting in a remarkably younger, calmer, and less worn looking face.
