Acupuncture is a highly effective therapy for treating pain developed in China over 2,000 years ago. Today acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation of points on the surface of the body related to specific health conditions. Acupuncture addresses blockages in the flow of ‘Qi’ or vital energy during treatment to resolve symptoms and restore health. The meridian based style utilized at the Stress Clinic follows in the tradition of Japanese acupuncture, utilizing very fine filiform needles and gentle stimulation. Most clients report feeling deeply relaxed as well as a sense of well being during and after treatment. Sessions last one hour.
Auricular Acupuncture for Addictions and Stress Management
According to Chinese medicine, the ear is considered to be a micro-system connected to all physiological and neurological functions of the body. By gently stimulating specific points in the ear with micro fine acupuncture needles, a homeostatic response is triggered in the sympathetic nervous system resulting in a renewed sense of calm and well being. This treatment is particularly helpful for those attempting to break the cycle of addiction. Treatments last ½ hour and are typically done in a series of 6 -10 visits during the withdrawal phase.
