ACUPUNCTURE
Cary Hakam, L.Ac., MS TCM
Acupuncture is a natural healing technique that restores, regulates and normalizes Qi flow by inserting hair-thin, disposable needles into the body’s energy pathways or meridians. When the flow of Qi and Blood stagnate or are obstructed, pain or illness will likely occur. Acupuncture can remove blockages and stagnation of the Qi and Blood and regulate their natural flow to restore health. The use of acupuncture dates back thousands of years and has evolved and remained a highly effective healing technology throughout its history. Modern scientific research has shown that acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin and norepinephrine, helping the Western scientific and medical communities understand, to a degree, the mysterious efficacy of acupuncture. Acupuncture is just one of the arrows in the quiver of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Among others I use in my practice are: Cupping; Moxibustion; Dietary Therapy; Herbal Medicine; Tuna (traditional massage based on meridian theory); Qi Gong and Taiji Quan. |
