How Acupuncture Helps

Pain

Most people experience significant pain at some time in their lives—whether from injury, illness, or an unknown cause. Pain is a warning signal that goes off when your body is trying to tell you something is wrong. and out of balance. Acupuncture practitioners recognize a vital energy called Qi circulating within the body. Qi flows thorough a series of pathways called meridians. Meridians are like rivers in your body. Wherever a river flows, it brings water that provides nourishment and life to the land, plants and people. Likewise meridians transport life-giving Qi that provides nourishment to every cell, tissue, muscle, organ and gland in the body. • By inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points, an acupuncturist is able to break up blockages in meridians that hamper the flow of Qi. Once this is done, Qi can travel freely throughout the body, promoting pain-free health, well-being and vitality.

PMS

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a group of physical and emotional symptoms linked to a woman's menstrual cycle. PMS symptoms usually occur during the 10 days prior to menses, and disappear shortly before or after the start of the menstrual flow. Symptoms vary from woman to woman, but each woman's individual pattern of symptoms is typically predictable. Acupuncture can address PMS symptoms naturally without medication, by restoring harmony and balance, both physically and emotionally. In Chinese medicine, the root cause of PMS is usually an imbalance or blockage of Qi (pronounced "chee") or vital energy, and blood within specific organ and meridian systems. When Qi and blood become imbalanced or blocked, symptoms and signs associated with PMS will appear. The role of the acupuncturist is to investigate the underlying causes leading to PMS symptoms. After a thorough diagnostic evaluation to determine what organ and meridian systems are out of balance, they treat the PMS symptoms according to each individual patient's imbalances and concerns.
