ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture Diagnosis and Treatment:

Acupuncture is one branch of Oriental Medicine. An acupuncture treatment starts with a consultation between the doctor and the patient. From interviewing, observing & taking the patients pulse, the practitioner is able to gather specific information in order to determine the diagnosis. The quality of the diagnosis is key in establishing a treatment plan for the patient. A treatment plan consists in one or a series of acupuncture sessions aimed at correcting imbalances identified in the diagnosis. As the patient improves, the diagnosis changes and the treatments are adjusted to reflect the patient’s progress.

The Acupuncture Session:

The acupuncture treatment itself consists of the insertion of tiny thread-like needles into points along pathways of energy called “meridians”. This facilitates the movement of energy or “qi” (pronounced ‘chee’). As long as energy flows freely and harmoniously, health is maintained. Stimulation of acupuncture points can help regulate energy by supplementing what is deficient and dispersing what is blocked or stagnant.

During the treatment, most patients experience a sense of deep relaxation and well-being. Only pre-sterilized and individually packaged disposable needles are used. A treatment lasts between 30 minutes and one hour. When appropriate, herbs are prescribed to consolidate and sustain the benefits of the acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture is compatible with other health care systems, including allopathic medicine. It is important to discuss any concurrent treatment and medicines used with the other doctor(s) so that herb-drug compatibility may be assessed. Input and on-going discussion with other health care practitioners used by the patient is highly encouraged for increased effectiveness.

What is Bemer?

Healthy microcirculation is vital to optimal health. Improving healthy microcirculation, through the targeted stimulation of vasomotion, is the primary goal of BEMER to support muscular health and optimize performance.*

BEMER devices use a pulsed electromagnetic field – abbreviated as PEMF – to deliver a patented therapeutic signal. The BEMER signal helps improve the impaired pumping movements of small and very small vessels to promote needs-based distribution of blood throughout the muscles.*
