Acupuncture

In Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) style acupuncture, pulse reading and tongue diagnosis are used to assess and diagnose individual cause(s) for a concern like a headache. Once a pattern of disharmony is identified, it guides the practitioner’s selection of treatment points, which vary from person to person even though the concern may be the same.

Treatments stimulate points along meridian channels to rebalance qi (energy), yin, yang, blood and fluids in the body. Points may be stimulated with needles, pressure, electrical current, heat and magnets. Most experience no discomfort and often notice a relaxing sensation or Qi with needles.
