Our treatments are based on Eastern medicine and the modalities
of Acupuncture and Tui Na.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is both an art and science that is a natural system of health care
which stimulates the body's ability to heal itself.  It is based on the theory of Qi
(pronounced 'chee'), which can be described as the life-force within you.  Qi is
said to circulate within specific pathways of the body called meridians.  Illness arises
when the Qi balance is off.  Acupuncture will readjust the balance so health can
be fully restored.

While acupuncture can alleviate chronic pain and alter states of mind, it can also
enhance your recuperative power, immunity, and the capability for pleasure, work,
and creativity.

What is an Acupuncture treatment like?
Patients find the treatments to be a very pleasant experience, describing it as
deeply relaxing or sometimes energizing.  The needles used are about the size of
one hair; we use as few needles as necessary.  The needle insertions may feel like
a small quick pinch or nothing at all.  To prepare for a treatment, all you need to
do is wear loose-fitting clothing.  Most of the points used are on your arms, legs or
back.

What is Tui Na?
Tui Na is the ancient healthcare bodywork of China.  This type of bodywork
combines soft tissue manipulation and Traditional Chinese Medical Theory.  When a
practitioner uses direct physical manipulation of the tissues, they can often realign
the person's muscular structure. This can produce an altering of the posture and
allow more of the body's own energy to move freely within the body, resulting in
healing or maintaining health rather than keeping the energetic pathways blocked
by bad posture.  Massage techniques like Neuro-Muscular re-education, trigger
point therapy, and myofacial release combined with the Tui Na style of massage
will effectively and quickly bring relief from chronic pain conditions.  These
techniques combined with acupuncture will help the person to re-establish the
muscle structure, promoting a stronger physical basis for the maintenance of good
health.
