Eastern Medicine as been used to treat and prevent disease for over 2,500 years across the Asian continent and has been proved effective for a wide array of chronic conditions. Since then, its practice has become widespread across the world, finding endorsement by both the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and being widely researched in major medical and scientific institutions worldwide today.
Herbal medicine treatment is fundamental to Eastern Medicine and works synergistically with acupuncture treatments to supplement the body with deficient nutrients or actively fight pathogens. Herbal formulas are created out of a vast and extensively studied pharmacopeia, resulting from thousands of years of research and application, and thoroughly tested for both efficacy and safety by both international scientific and regulatory standards.
Cupping is the practice of applying suction cups to specific regions of the body to relieve pain and remove toxins from the deep muscle layer to promote smooth circulation of blood, lymph, and Qi from the affected region to the rest of the body.
During the initial exam a full health history will be taken. Questions will be asked regarding symptoms, health and lifestyle. Your acupuncturist will check your pulse and tongue, and conduct a physical exam. This information is then organized to create a comprehensive diagnosis of which organ or part of your body has blockage, weakness, or imbalance. After the interview process, you will receive an acupuncture treatment. Your initial acupuncture session may last from 45-90 minutes. Your follow up acupuncture session may last from 30-60 minutes.
Come to us with any and all questions you may have about Eastern Medicine, the Treatments, or your particular condition. All of our doctors are all highly knowledgeable and eager to provide you with beneficial information and can be a wonderful resource for health, lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise tips. Wear loose comfortably fitting clothing to help you relax. An open-mind and desire to be healed.
The tongue is a map of the body. It reflects the general health of organs, body energy and body fluids. Your acupuncturist will look at the color, shape, cracks and coating on your tongue.
You may feel a small prick as the needle passes through the skin. However, the needles are as fine as a human hair and many patients do not feel any pain at all.
Elim Acupuncture Group practitioners only use the highest quality surgical stainless steel acupuncture needles that are safe and specially designed to cause minimal pain. Being the width of a single strand of human hair, acupuncture needles should be neither feared nor confused with any other type of needle. Many enjoy the relaxing sensation that permeates all over the body, which results from the improved circulation.
