Children can receive Acupuncture
Often we have excellent results with this respected treatment. In cases where children are uneasy about the needles, a practitioner may choose to use an acupressure treatment, involving massage of the acupoints, versus the placement of needles within them.

Acupuncture originated in China, and dates back to the Neolithic Era (c. 2,500 BC) when stone needles were used in place of today's finely manufactured ones. Chinese medicine, which incorporates acupuncture into its many treatments, is therefore considered to be the oldest and most widely used system of medicine in our history.

Your tongue and pulse tell a story
Tongue and pulse assessment is an important part of the diagnostic process in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). By examining the color of the tongue itself, for example, a TCM practitioner can ascertain the general condition of the patient. The tongue can also be used to monitor the improvement or decline of the patient’s condition. For this purpose, the tongue body color is more useful in chronic conditions, while the tongue coating is generally more useful in acute conditions. A thorough evaluation of the pulse qualities can reveal excesses, deficiencies, disharmony of Qi, and the internal organs that are involved.

Qi is your bioenergy
Qi (pronounced, “chee”) is the vital force, the “breath of life”, the presence of which separates the living from the dead. Its balanced, unimpeded flow is critical to health. Any misdirection, blockage, or imbalance of the amount, flow, or balance of Qi may result in pain, dysfunction, and ill health. Proper stimulation helps restore the normal energy (Qi) flow, so that organs and bodily systems can work together in harmony. This allows the body to repair itself and maintain its own innate balance and health.

Acupuncture is relaxing
The sensation produced by an acupuncture needle is not the same as that of a hypodermic needle (the needle used for injections). Medical hypodermic needles are stiff, hollow, and thick, designed for forcing liquid into the patient’s flesh. This is usually an uncomfortable and painful procedure. In acupuncture, the needle is about as wide as a strand of hair. Often, patients barely feel the insertion. Once inserted, many patients are so relaxed that they fall asleep! Read more on Acupuncture
