CUPPING THERAPY CHAKRA CLEARING & BALANCING STRESS, WELLNESS, ANTI-AGING SUPPORT Acupuncture is a Chinese medicine treatment method by insertion of very fine, brand new medical grade needles into predefined energetic points in the body to open the network of energy pathways that run through the body, facilitate the free flow circulation of energy and blood to remove obstructions or blockages, rectify imbalances by guiding the energy to where it needs to go, and ultimately restore the entire system back to a healthy balance and efficient functioning. This network of energy pathways in the human system comprises of 72,000 energy centers, according to Indian Vedic science. Chinese medicine places special emphasis on the 14 major energy meridians and 361 acupuncture points in the human body that bear significant importance in our treatment. Our physical body is a complex, intricate energy matrix composed of multitudes of major and minor energy pathways called meridians and they are imperceptible by the naked eye. If you visualize the highway and road system in any major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston which facilitates transportation and movement throughout the entire city, you will have an idea of how our energy system looks and functions. Once the imbalances and affected meridians are identified, a group of acupuncture points relevant to the condition are chosen to properly rectify the illness. On average, a group of 12 -16 points are used for a standard acupuncture session and they may locate on the head, face, ears, trunk, arms, legs, hands, feet, front, back, or sides of the body. Each needle is then inserted into a single point, also common that several needles surround one point. Once inserted, needles are retained in the body for 30 minutes — during this span of time they facilitate one complete cycle of energy circulation throughout the entire body. Does acupuncture hurt? This is probably the most commonly asked question about acupuncture, however there is no standard answer because every person has different pain threshold and response. Generally, acupuncture is tolerable. Some points are more sensitive than others depending on the areas of the body. Most needles are inserted without causing any discomfort to our patients. Any uncomfortable sensation would be felt only at the initial insertion of needle and goes away after a few seconds. Once all needles are inserted, the rest of the treatment is absolutely comfortable and relaxing. With repeated treatments, most patients grow accustomed to the needle sensation and their initial anxiety also dissipates. Rest assured that you're not alone in this process. Our acupuncturist is ready to coach and assist you should any discomfort arise. FAQ's About Acupuncture Warm Needle Acupuncture with Moxa When can you expect to feel improvement? Everyone responds differently to a treatment depending on the nature and severity of the condition being treated, other pre-existing conditions that can have bearing on the recuperative power of the individual, and patient's compliance to the treatment regimen.

Request Your Consultation APRIL BUI, LAC - ACUPUNCTURIST, HERBALIST, ENERGY FACILITATOR " I went to April's clinic after being told that my medical condition due to diabetes would not improve even with suggested surgery, and there was no guarantee. I had no experience with acupuncture but after meeting April with whom I've been under care, I felt confident in her and her abilities.
