Acupuncture

It is said that ancient Chinese sages, while observing the movements within nature and the Universe, discovered that the body and all living things have their own energy systems of life force" called "Qi" (chee). Qi is similar to what we know as electromagnetism or bio-electric energy. When this energy is disturbed or blocked, discomfort or illness results.

Unseen lines of energy, called meridians, are said to traverse the body. These meridians have superficial pathways along which acupuncture points are located and deep pathways that lead to the internal organs. The insertions of thread-like, stainless steel needles at these bio-electrically charged points stimulate the flow of Qi and help to restore equilibrium.

Studies indicate that acupuncture influences the central and peripheral nervous systems, releases endorphins to reduce pain and stress; affects sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, and can also enhance the function of the gastrointestinal and the activity of the endocrine system. Acupuncture works with the body, strengthening and balancing energy. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal itself more quickly and more completely.

Navel Acupuncture

Navel acupuncture, while based on ancient Chinese acupuncture theory, is just over a decade old. It is the newest of all the acupuncture techniques. It has already proved its outstanding effectiveness through thousands of clinical trials in China and in the hands of qualified practitioners today. It produces superior results on various pain conditions such as arthritis, migraines, tennis elbow, neck and back pain, frozen shoulder, sciatic, shingles, trigeminal neuralgia etc. Navel acupuncture has also proved to be valuable in helping treat many difficult conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, Parkinson’s Disease, Lupus, spinal cord injury, stroke, depression, prostate problems, sinus allergies, asthma, psoriasis, amenorrhea, tinnitus, and weight loss.

Scalp Acupuncture

Scalp acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture that excels in the treatment of nervous system disorders yet it can be used to treat most of the same disorders as regular acupuncture. It is often used in addition to traditional acupuncture, and it follows the same general theory of traditional body acupuncture.

Facial Acupuncture

Facial Acupuncture is a safe, effective and non-surgical procedure in which fine, sterile and disposable needles are superficially placed at various acupuncture points along the body and face. Facial Acupuncture treatments are used to ensure a smooth and proper flow of Qi (or Vital Energy) throughout the face and body and to stimulate an increase in elastin and collagen production. This increased production helps in the reduction or the erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper wrinkles. Additionally, many experience an enhanced skin tone, the firming of jowls and a reduction in the size and appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles. This adds a firmer look to the skin, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Auricular Acupuncture (Ear)

Acupuncture points on the ears are used to regulate the body's internal organs, structures, and functions, as well as, release endorphins. Endorphins are natural chemicals produced within the body that reduce pain and produce a general sense of well being. Auricular acupuncture re-balances the body by stimulating specific points on the ear that correspond to different parts of the body. It is very effective in the treatment of addictions and pain, and it is used in conjunction with regular acupuncture for treating chronic conditions. Auricular (ear) therapy is similar to body acupuncture, but is applied to the external ear. All parts of the human body are represented in the ear and can be used for supplementary diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases.

Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-Acupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. The frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered is adjusted, depending on the condition being treated. According to the principles of Chinese Medicine, illness is caused when Qi (energy) does not flow properly throughout the body. Your practitioner will determine whether your Qi is weak, stagnant, or otherwise out of balance, which indicates the points to be stimulated. Electro-Acupuncture is especially useful for conditions in which the Qi is stagnant and accumulated, such as chronic pain syndromes, or in cases where the Qi is difficult to stimulate. Electro-Acupuncture is used for a variety of conditions. It has been effectively used as a pain reliever for muscle spasms, a form of anaesthesia, and a treatment for neurological disorders.

Acupressure

Acupressure uses different massage techniques to stimulate specific acupuncture points. It can be used instead of, or in addition to acupuncture. Acupressure is essentially acupuncture without needles. Acupressure is used to stimulate the flow of Qi (energy) and is a viable alternative for those that are fearful of needles, for children, and for those who are especially weak. It is very effective in restoring strength after illness or for acute pain conditions, when needles can not be used.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears, which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, the feet being the primary area of application, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body. The blockage of your energy field, or Qi, can prevent healing. By manipulating these reflex areas practitioners can improve your health by stimulating your Qi. The pressure applied to the feet sends signals that balance the nervous system and releases endorphins that reduce stress and pain.

Tui Na (Chinese Massage of the Foot)

One aspect of Chinese Massage Therapy encompasses massaging of the foot. Areas of the foot reflects the organs in the body. By administering specific calculated pressure and stimulation to the foot it will cause respective organs and tissues to respond.

Basic principals for Tui Na involve:

1.  Balancing yin and yang (the positive and negative charges) of cells to restore normal functioning of the body.
2.  Reflex through the nervous system to reconnect and cause changes of respective organs.
3.  Induce blood circulation to nourish tissues.
4.  Stimulate acupuncture points to clear blockage in meridians and channels.

Chinese Foot Massage has a long history and is proven to be effective in treating various chronic conditions with marked results in headaches, insomnia, depression, menopausal syndromes, hypertension, diabetes, thyroid and sinus conditions.
