Interests: From my personal perspective and 32 years of private practice wellness, maintenance and prevention can be accomplished.
Acupuncture is a system of medicine that has its theoretical foundations in the maintenance of health and well-being. Acupuncture utilizes the energy of the body to accomplish the treatment of illness and disease and the maintenance of health and well-being. This is done through the utilization of small stainless steel. Silver or gold needles, a heat treatment called moxibustion and through massage and pressure applied to specific treatment points known as acupuncture points. These points lie along pathways, more traditionally called meridians or channels, along which the electromagnetic energy or life force of the body flows. While the human body is a field of electromagnetic energy, it does have specific major pathways across which the chi or life force of the body travels.
Acupuncture can treat conditions of the skin, digestive system, the muscular skeletal systems, the nervous system, the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the urogenital system and the reproductive system. Acupuncture is also used in the treatment of mental illness, substance abuse and addictions. Acupuncture can also treat trauma or injury. Examples of this are whiplash, complications of concussions, muscle strain and tendinitis. Acupuncture can treat chronic and acute pain, sports related injuries, gynecological concerns, headaches, high blood pressure, poor circulation, incontinence, constipation, viral outbreaks, infertility and menopausal related symptoms. The goal of acupuncture is: 1) the resolution of the disharmony that exists within the energy field of the body and 2) to recreate, through subtle suggestion, balance; Assisting the body through the stimulation of acupuncture points to redirect its life force and to accomplish the healing necessary to recreate harmony.
