Acupuncture is a collection of procedures involving penetration of the skin with needles to stimulate certain points on the body. In its classical form it is a characteristic component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It has been categorized as a complementary health approach and has produced consistent, positive results in oriental societies for over 5,000 years! According to traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating specific acupuncture points correct imbalances in the flow of Qi through channels known as meridians. Acupuncture has been proven to stimulate the release of natural opiate-like hormones, which usually induce a deep state of relaxation, balance and healing.

Disease, injury, and stress each create a loss and disruption of energy flow, which in turn, creates varying degrees of physical and emotional unbalance. Just as a kink in a garden hose can prevent water flow until the bend is straightened out, we focus on restoring physical and emotional balance by opening appropriate energy pathways to restore and enhance smooth energy flow.

During your first acupuncture treatment, you can expect a full review of your medical history. In addition to filling out paperwork, there will be an extensive health interview. Your initial visit to the office may be slightly longer to make sure we appropriately tend to your personal needs. In addition to asking you questions, we may do a tongue and pulse diagnosis. These are key parts of Chinese Medical Diagnosis.

During a session at Balance, you will often be asked how a certain point on the body feels after pressure is applied. This combined with many other traditional techniques will give each patient a unique experience not to be found anywhere else.

While four to ten treatments (or more) are generally required to realize significant improvement for a specific problem, you can expect to also see improvement in your overall health.
