Acupuncture
     1) Fourteen major energy channels called Meridians course                 
           through the human body including the head, arms, hands, legs,       
           feet, torso, and internal organs.
     2) A subtle energy called Qi (pronounced Chee) circulates via         
           the meridians to all parts of the body, even the most remote           
           cells.
     3) Qi is the vital force, the presence of which separates the living     
           from the dead.  Its balanced, unimpeded flow is critical
          to sound health.
     4) Any misdirection, blockage, or other derangement of the               
           amount, flow, or balance of Qi may result in pain,
          dysfunction, and ill health.
     5) With acupuncture needles, or other means, the acupuncturist         
           stimulates certain points (Acupoints) along the course of the       
           meridians.  Such stimulation helps restore the normal balance        
           and flow of Qi so organs and bodily systems can work                    
           together in harmony as intended. This sets the stage for the        
           body to repair itself and maintain its own health.
Needle Treatment
Typically, acupuncture needles are fine and
flexible, no bigger around than a human hair or
piece of thread.  When the needle makes
contact with Chi, the energy, most patients
experience a slight tingling sensation.
Electro-Acupuncture Therapy
a therapeutic method of stimulating a
certain area or acupoints with induced or
direct electric current.  It is the using of very
small electrical impulses through the
acupuncture needles.
a method of stimulating Acupuncture points by
applying suction through a metal, wood or glass
jar, in which a partial vacuum has been created.
This technique produces blood congestion at
the site  and therefore stimulates the point or
the area.
Moxibustion
a therapeutic technique of applying
an ignited stick or cone of special
Asian herbs over the affected part of
the body or acupoints.
Ear Acupuncture
The surface of the ear contains an invisible
upside-down representation of a fetus and
points on the ear correspond to bodily parts
and organs.  Stimulating appropriate ear points
often effectively treats pain and disease in the
corresponding parts or organs.
Tui Na (Chinese Massage)
Specializing in injury repair and curing
illness, Tui Na massage can also
maintain your health by adjusting your
Qi in order to flow smoothly.
Q: Which
Acupoints
To Treat?
Treatments
Over centuries of trial and error and meticulous observation the
Asian accurately mapped the locations of the meridians and identified
hundreds of specific points in the meridians where Qi can be accessed
and stimulated when there is an aberration of flow.  Those points are
commonly called “acupoints.”  
Several thousand years ago Asian physicians
discovered that Qi, the vital force, circulates
throughout the body along fourteen major
channels.  English-speaking acupuncturists
usually call the channels “meridians.”
Meridians form a highly-complex invisible network
transporting and directing Qi to every part of
the body including the head, arms, legs, torso,
organs and systems.
