About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe and effective holistic medicine backed by more than 3000 years of practice and research. It is a worldwide primary and adjunctive treatment for a wide range of conditions. The clinical success of acupuncture is due - at least in part - to the wide range of diagnostic signs and symptoms taken into effect when looking at an imbalance. Your Acupuncture Physician will examine your tongue, check your pulse, take your blood pressure, take your temperature, weigh you, ask about your diet and lifestyle, palpate your spine, etc. This range of diagnostic information allows Acupuncture Physicians to develop a treatment strategy that is unique to your particular condition.
What techniques do TCM practitioners use? Acupuncture Physicians use several different techniques to help their patients. Acupuncture- insertion of hair-thin needles into over 350 energy points
