Acupuncture and Herbs (Traditional Oriental Medicine)

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is one the of the newest primary health care professions in the United States. The benefits of acupuncture have become widely recognized and integrated with mainstream health care. It treats and strengthens the physical condition, normalizes physiological functions and controls pain. The goal is not to eliminate or alliviate symptoms, but rather to treat the underlying cause, increase the ability to function and improve the quality to function, and improve the quality of life.

Acupuncture is a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated and prevented disease for over 2,500 years. The general theory is based on the premise that there are pathways of Qi (pronounced chee) throughout the body that are related to the orans and musculoskeletal systems. When Qi flow is disrupted due to trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, or other conditions, pain or illness can be the result.

Acupuncture focuses on correcting imbalances by inserting ultra-thin needles under the skin to stimulate specific points in the body. Stimulation unblocks and encourages the even flow of Qi, restoring the body's balance, relieving pain and other symptoms.
