Acupuncture - Acupressure - AcuGraph
Acupuncture is a component of traditional Chinese medicine that originated in China over 5,000 years ago.
It is based on the belief that living beings have a vital energy, called "chi" or "qi", that circulates through twelve invisible energy lines known as meridians on the body.
Each meridian is associated with a different organ system.
An imbalance in the flow of chi throughout a meridian can be a factor of how disease begins.
Treatment consists of using pressure, laser, or hair-thin needles on specified points along meridian lines to influence the restore balance to the flow of chi.
In our practice we use Evidence-based Acupuncture by using a computerized AcuGraph instrument to allow us to "see the chi" and graph out any imbalances that exist so that treatment can be exact and very precise.
