How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for centuries. The focus is on the individual, not their illness, and all the symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Each patient is unique; two people with the same western diagnosis may well receive different acupuncture treatments.

The underlying principle of treatment is that illness and pain occur when the body's qi, or vital energy, cannot flow freely. There can be many reasons for this; emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury are among the most common. By inserting ultra-fine sterile pins into specific acupuncture points, your acupuncturist seeks to re-establish the free flow of energy to restore balance and trigger the body's natural healing response. Your practitioner will ask about your chief complaint, health history, current medications and lifestyle to create a treatment plan tailored to you.

Cupping Therapy

Pain relief is one of the main reasons my clients use cupping therapy. Cupping zones in on those painful points and areas of swelling. While increasing blood flow and providing muscles with important nutrients, energy, blood and oxygen.

Cupping helps release painful, stiff and tight muscles, to ease pain. Cupping is also used to relieve cough and colds, to detox the body, during facial acupuncture (to increase circulation) and much more.
