What is Acupuncture?

Acu Neck

Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that is over 3000 years old and one of the oldest forms of natural healthcare. Acupuncture is based on the concept that the body’s vital energy travels in a series of clearly defined paths called meridians or channels. By stimulating meridian points that correspond to various organs and systems in the body, the body’s energy can be encouraged back into balance which allows the body to heal itself.

The Acupuncture exam:

The initial examination of a client involves looking at the whole person including body, mind and environmental lifestyle factors. Before Dr. Lindsey begins the acupuncture session she will do a brief consultation with the client to know more about their health and goals they are wanting to achieve with the treatment.
