o Understanding
acupuncture -- In order to differentiate pain,
Chinese Medicine uses four methods of investigation:
1.- inquiry 2.- observation 3.- palpation and 4.- listening.
After identifying a diagnosis, acupuncture points are
selected based on the point's action and the indicated
channels of the body. Acupuncture works by activating
energy in channels of the body.
o Acupuncture Treatments -- Points are
stimulated by rotating needles until the patient feels
a tight, twisting sensation. Individual points have specific
therapeutic effects on the body's organs, channels and
vital energy. General sessions last aobut 30 minutes.
Being relaxed, calm, quiet and positive helps patients
maximize the benefits of acupuncture treatments

Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine -
Oriental
Medicine is the collective use of Chinese pulse and tongue diagnosis,
Acupuncture and the use of Easter botanical medicines. It is based
on the principle that we have channels of energy (Qi) and bloood
running through our body. Pain is created when the channel's qi
and blood become blocked. The goal is to harmonize the system by
balancing the flow in the channels.
This system of health care that
has been used effectively for thousands of years in Asia, has only
been introduced to North American in the 20th century. Since its
introduction, Naturopathic Doctors have used needle acupuncture
and Eastern Botanicals as a traditional part of their practice.
Acupuncture has been tested clinically by Western Medicine in the
treatment of chornic pain and in the weaning from addictive substances
such as nicotine, caffeine and many drugs.
