Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago and is still being
practiced the world over. It works! Without the use of dangerous
pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures, acupuncture gently and strongly
encourages the body to recover its own healing abilities.
Treatments are tailored to you and your particular needs, not based on a
group study of which you were not a part. You are unique, just like a
snowflake, and as equally a part of nature. Chinese medicine uses
natural law to understand how your symptoms point to an underlying
imbalance in your whole being. It is, therefore, a process and not a
quick fix. There are no formulas that fit everyone – your treatment is
about you and you alone.
Acupuncture differs from other forms of medicine in another important
way. The practitioner knows that all the symptoms you are having are
related! You do not need one acupuncture specialist to treat your back
pain, one to treat your arthritis, and another to treat your heartache
as if each were a different condition. You are one organism, one being,
and Chinese medicine treats your concerns as if all are part of the same
underlying imbalance.
