Welcome to Modern Acupuncture
IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A UNIQUE HEALING EXPERIENCE.

THIS MEDICINE IS UNLIKE THE USUAL FORMS OF THERAPY WHICH YOU MAY HAVE TRIED.  CHINESE MEDICINE WORKS ON THE ENERGETIC LEVEL TO RESTORE AND HARMONIZE HEALTH, AND TO OVERCOME AND PREVENT DISEASE.

According to an ancient Chinese theory going back thousands of years, there is a vital energy called Qi (pronounced like “ch’i”), which is present throughout the world and flows like a river through the human body.  It is the smooth flow of Qi, along internal channels known in Oriental medical practice as “meridians,” which gives our bodies and minds the energy and vitality to face the world with health, strength, vigor, and inner peace.  But just like a river, traditional Chinese theory holds, the smooth flow of Qi can stagnate, or get blocked and diverted, causing illness, fatigue, pain, and emotional distress.  By using hair-thin metal needles inserted at points along Acupuncture meridians on the patient’s body, the Acupuncture practitioner, trained in the classical Chinese arts of diagnosis and treatment, can stimulate, balance, and restore the correct flow of Qi, thus restoring the body and mind to optimal health and performance.  Traditional Chinese Medicine is a philosophical discipline, and not just a clinical one, based on eradicating “patterns of disharmony” within a person, and is therefore highly individualized and intuitive.  We treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.    

Acupuncture treatments have many cosmetic applications as well, rejuvenating the skin, reducing wrinkles, and generally helping bring about a healthy, youthful radiance to the faces of today’s busy men and women.  Within a few office visits, we can begin to undo the damaging effects wrought by stress and worry.  In fact, you will feel your transformation begin after the very first session!

In the 20th Century Acupuncture became widely and firmly accepted by the medical establishment as a bona-fide – and highly beneficial – alternative to Western medical practices for treatment of musculoskeletal, digestive, gynecological, respiratory, emotional, and neurological conditions. 

A visit to our office features not only the diagnosis and treatment of particular symptoms, but also diet and lifestyle counseling, relaxation and stress-reduction techniques, all in an effort to improve and enrich the patients’ lives and peace of mind, as well as their physical health.
