Acupuncture & Herbology
Acupuncture
Acupuncture works on the vast network of electro-magnetic fields and pathways of the human body. Verified in recent years by modern scientific research, these electromagnetic energy pathways are used to restore systemic balance and support, aiding the body in its own healing process. Acupuncture is an extremely safe treatment strategy, and has proven effective in treating hundreds of different ailments.
An acupuncture treatment begins with the patient laying down on the treatment table, either on the front, back or side depending upon the areas that need to be accessed. Very thin needles are inserted at carefully selected points along the pathways to improve the body's connections. Some patients feel a tingling or heaviness from the location of the needles, while others feel nothing. Either way, this is not indicative of the treatment's effectiveness. The needles are typically left in place for about 30 minutes, although specific treatments may dictate a longer or shorter amount of time.
Needles used at Advanced Wellness Center are sterile, disposable and used just once. After treatment, the needles are then discarded, eliminating any risk of infection.
Herbology
Chinese herbal medicine is a very important aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When used in carefully selected combinations, herbs offer the body support, working to maintain the best balance of all internal systems.
The Advanced Wellness Center will work with patients to prescribe unique, individualized combinations of herbs that work either on a continual basis to build overall health, or on a short-term basis to address a specific problem. We will often recommend nutrition and lifestyle choices that together with the herbal medicines will achieve the best possible results.
