Inner Balance Acupuncture

The intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. The method by which this is accomplished, though it may seem strange and mysterious to many, has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be validated today.

The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness hinges on concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance." Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of your "vital energy" traveling within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels".

The acupuncturist is able to influence your health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these "meridians". The aim is to adjust your "vital energy" so the proper amount reaches the proper place at the proper time. This helps your body heal itself.

Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within the coherent system of healing known as Oriental Medicine. Oriental Medicine includes herbology, physical therapy (cupping, gua sha and tui-na), diet and special exercises (such as Tai Chi and Qi Gong), and is a complete medical system unto itself. It is not a branch of modern Western medicine, but can be very useful on its own or when used in conjunction with Western treatments to complement them or reduce the negative side effects of those treatments. Acupuncture evolved from principles and philosophies unique to Oriental thinking and Oriental Medicine and is most effectively applied when done in accordance with those principles.
