Report
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine. By inserting fine needles at specific points on the body, it is used to treat various disorders or imbalance of the body and mind. Acupuncture can facilitate release of internal substances (e. g., endorphin and enkephalin, the body's natural products for pain relief and general well being) , stimulate vital energy (Qi) , mobilize immune system, and increase resistance against diseases. Acupuncture is thus a renowned model of natural healing that activates the body's own protective mechanism and employs the body's tendency for new balance and recovery. Its advantages include simple procedure, lack of side effects, broad application, and good therapeutic effects. Most patients feel no pain with needle insertion. But feeling of local distension, heaviness, numbing, tingling, or electric sensation traveling along effected pathways (Meridians) may be experienced, especially when weak electric current is fed onto the inserted needles or the needles are gently maneuvered. The combination of acu-points, time of needle stay, depth and angle of needling, and therapeutic manipulations (e. g., tonifying for deficiency or dispersing for excess) vary from case to case. Depending on the nature, severity, and duration of individual illness, 3 to 10 treatments are usually needed. Significant improvement is commonly noticed from 1 to 5 treatments. Sterilized disposable needles are used.
Medical conditions that respond well to acu-puncture (alone or combined with Chinese herbs) include but not limited to the following groups:
Pain Control / Anesthesia: Headache, migraine, lower back pain, sciatica, tendonitis, arthritis, toothache, neuralgia, surgical pain.
Addiction: to drugs, pain-killers, sleeping-pills, smoking, alcohol, other undesirable habits.
Stress: Anxiety, depression, insomnia, ulcer, overweight, certain heart diseases.
Dysfunction: Infertility, impotence, paralysis, injuries, asthma, allergy, visceral prolapse, post- stroke rehabilitation, gynecological disorders.

This was a horrible experience for me. I was so disappointment, because I had such high hopes. I went in there, with an expectation that anyone working with herbs, for her amount of years, would have answers for me. But no, not one bit of helpful information and at times, she even went into this long explanation, that had nothing to do with, what I had asked.
I think there was a language barrier there. Not real personable either. I hate feeling ripped off, and that is, just what I felt like. I was ripped off. I would have received more info at the healthfood store. It also took her 3 times, to do my blood pressure and then in broken english, she said, that it was approximately (the reading). I drove over an hour to here.

I feel very taken by this office. The visit was very expensive and nothing was acomplished. I have Chronic phenomia/athsma due to being exposed to toxic mold. I told the office this before hand. After my sit down with this lady.she told me she could not help me since I was Chronic and then charged me $187.00. This was a true waste of money, time and taken advantage of for a person not able to work due to my condition.
I do not recomend this office. I got nothing out of it and what she discussed with me about diet is information I already knew. Save your money and use GOOGLE if you need to know something.
