Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most reliable medical therapies in the world.
Inserting hair-thin needles into specific points on the body regulates its many networks, such as circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, endocrine, and nervous systems, activating the body’s natural ability to heal. Acupuncture relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and through the release of endorphins, is deeply relaxing. This helps the body regulate its environment and maintain internal balance.
I primarily practice distal acupuncture, as taught by Dr. Tan’s Balance Method. The Balance Method is a sequence of acupuncture systems based on the concept of balancing meridians to heal the body. The Balance Method is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridian theory and arises from the I Ching. Needles are placed away from the area of pain, and yields a high clinical success rates through a series of treatments.
