Acupuncture is a form of treatment in traditional Chinese Medicine using thin, sterile needles inserted into selected points on the body. Acupuncture is used to treat a vast range of conditions ranging from pain, hormonal imbalances, mental-emotional imbalances, to internal medicine.

Initial session includes:

• complete medical history

• tongue & pulse diagnosis

• physical exam (if applicable)

• recommended treatment plan

• acupuncture session

• take-home recommendations (nutrition, home exercises such as breath-work, and more)

• Proper hydration

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing allowing easy access to knees and elbows

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before a treatment as they interfere with the treatment effect

• Eat a small snack within 1 hour before the treatment session

Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system by re-balancing the stress response. It helps by switching the fight-flight-freeze response of the sympathetic nervous system towards a more centered and adaptable approach. It allows one to adapt to the needs of life by addressing stress as needed, while switching to the parasympathetic mode of rest, digest, and sleep.

The meridians are highways on the body serving as a connection between the internal organs, the surface of the skin, and everything in between. These meeting points on the surface of the skin are known as Acupuncture points. When activated, these points sets off a system of reaction:

• Local immune reaction to activate the immune response

• Communicates to the mid-brain through proprioreceptors (within the skin) to wake the brain and body connection

• Influences optimal levels of nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and oxygen release within the cell level

• Releases pain relieving chemicals known as enkephalins and more.

These set of Acupuncture points are used in a particular order to give the desired outcome for treatment.
