Acupuncture is the placement of very fine needles into the body at a specific location known as an acupuncture point. These points are located on the pathways known as "meridians" through which the flow of qi (energy) and blood circulates throughout our body. There are numerous areas in our body where qi and blood may become blocked or stagnant creating an internal disharmony in which physical symptoms such as pain and disease can manifest over time.An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up others.

The new Minnesota law HF286/SF 245 provides equal access to a licensed acupuncture practitioner for services covered under a regulated health plan. If acupuncture services provided by a physician are covered, the same services provided by a licensed acupuncture practitioner must also be covered. It does not require health plans that don't cover any acupuncture services to begin doing so.

I had severe right shoulder pain from a damaged rotator cuff injury and was scheduled for surgery in one month. I went to Gerard to get some relief prior to surgery. After three treatments per week for a month I felt tremendous relief, enough to cancel surgery. After the second month of Gerard's new technique of sparrow pecking I was close to being back to normal.
