Services
By stimulating points throughout the body with very thin needles, our own healing capabilities are activated. Acupuncture is used to prevent illness, to restore and maintain wellness, treat chronic and acute pain and guide us towards a state of internal balance. Moxibustion is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of dried mugwort to facilitate healing and is often used in conjunction with acupuncture.
What might I feel during a treatment? What a patient usually feels is his/her own qi (pronounced chee) and a deep sense of relaxation. It is actually common for the patient to not feel the needle at all as it enters through the skin. What is qi? Qi is our own life force. Some say qi is an electro-magnetic force; some say it is biochemical in nature.
