Do you feel balanced?
Oriental Medicine is a gentle, effective approach to health and healing whose roots are documented to go back over three thousand years. This system of energetic medicine seeks to balance the passive and active forces of yin and yang within the body. Acupuncture is one of the oldest continually practiced medical modalities in the world. Acupuncture is used to prevent and treat disease, relieve pain, balance mood, enhance athletic performance, increase fertility, and improve overall health and wellness.
The philosophy of our practice is based on the Chinese ideal of health, being a positive and harmonious feeing of wellness.
Modern research has shown that acupuncture is a safe, effective, chemical-free way to promote the body's remarkable self-healing abilities. Disease and illness are viewed as an imbalance within the body, treatment is directed towards properly aligning and harmonizing the vital energy forces that exist within us all. Great emphasis is placed on disease prevention and early intervention and treatment of illness and imbalances.
The development of disease depends largely on two factors: the strength of the body itself, and the strength of the disease-causing quality. When our bodies are truly strong (emotionally and physically)there are no easy footings for disease to take hold.
Oriental Medicine utilizes the senses. Touch, smell , observation, and listening to a patient is essential in order to appraise the current state of their health at every visit. Careful attention is paid to all aspects of a patient's lifestyle -the past, as well as the present. Signs and symptoms are pieced together and synthesized until a picture of the individual as a whole appears.
This is the heart of the Chinese diagnostic process.
