Acupuncture Acupuncture is the treatment of choice for at least a quarter of the world's population. It is safe, gentle and drug-free therapy that is used to restore health, increase the sense of well-being, and for the prevention of disease. Acupuncture needles as well as other related techniques are used to restore the normal balance and flow of Qi (energy) in the body so organs and bodily systems can work together in balance as nature intended. This Qi, or life force, flows through the body along a system of pathways, also known as meridians. Blood vessels, nerve pathways, and muscular-skeletal tissues are examples of similiar pathways in Western Medicine. The proper interplay between these systems is crutial for optimal health and emotional well-being. An important part of Chinese Medical philosophy is to understand the patient as a whole, and not only treat the current symptom. Since a disease condition appearing in one part of the body is often a sign of a more general underlying disorder, we will examine the relationship of multiple systems in order to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Amanda Melo specializes in Classical Five Element Acupuncture which not only addresses physical conditions, but also pschological issues. |
