Acupuncture
The practice of acupuncture has been around for over 5000 years. Acupuncture is a meridian based theory that believes the body has an energy force called "Qi" flowing through it.It is believed that your health both physical and mental is influenced by the flow of "Qi". Very fine needles are inserted on the body's surface in order to influence physiological functioning of the body.
When the body's pathways or meridians become obstructed, deficient, excessive or just unbalanced, Yin and Yang are said to be thrown out of balance. This causes dis-ease in the body. Acupuncture can restore balance to your body.
What to Expect
Your initial evaluation is very detailed, we ask that you completely and accurately fill out the health and information forms; this is a very important component to ensure the best results possible. During this time you will meet Nancy Reicher our Alternative practitioner and Certified Acupuncturist.The initial evaluation will take one hour, during this time Nancy will go over your paperwork, ask questions determine if you have any contraindications to receiving the therapy and give you a VoiceBio exam. The VoiceBio will enable us to chart your physical and emotional imbalances, help with recommendations and keep track of your progress.
All further sessions are generally 30-45 minutes. An explanation of Acupuncture is explained and a therapy plan is recommended.
Payment plans are available and can be discussed with Nancy before further therapy sessions. Any questions you have are answered at this time and all subsequent visits as communication is a key part to healing.
Usually your first session with Acupuncture needles will take place in the last 20 minutes of the hour; however this may not happen if a more in-depth assessment is required. Some bleeding and bruising may occur so anti-bruising creams are applied after to reduce this reaction when necessary.
