Modality: the Tools of the Trade

The Methods, Ancient and Modern,

We Use in Providing Acupuncture for You

ACUPUNCTURE

AN ANCIENT HEALING TECHNIQUE USING VERY FINE NEEDLES, THINNER THAN A CAT’S WHISKER, WHICH ARE PLACED IN VARIOUS POINTS ON YOUR BODY’S MERIDIANS TO TREAT PAIN, DISEASE, OR EMOTIONAL ISSUES.  ORIENTAL MEDICINE BELIEVES THAT HEALTH BEGINS AT THE EMOTIONAL LEVEL AND WHEN NOT ADDRESSED AT THAT LEVEL, THEN THE PROBLEM RISES TO THE PHYSICAL LEVEL.  THAT’S USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE COME TO SEE US.  THE EMOTIONAL ISSUES INCLUDE GRIEF AND SORROW, ANGER AND IMPATIENCE, FEAR, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, OVERTHINKING, OVERWORKING, STRESS, THE ‘STUFF’ OF BRIEF [SOMETIMES LONGER] PERIODS OF EVERYONE’S LIFE.
