Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine treats the body as a whole. By using Traditional Chinese Medicine, we take the time with you, in a one-on-one consultation. This time we use techniques including extensive questioning into your heath history, to design a treatment plan tailored for you.
Chinese Medicine views the human being as a whole being and recognizes every person has a unique health journey. We look at your life as a whole, your environment, diet, life style and unique journey. If we reflect on the way we look at a tree, with its’ roots and branches. The Ancient concept of roots and branches considers that the root holds the tree to the ground and if the roots are not nourished and are weak then the branches will be weak and the leaves flowers and fruit will not flourish. If a tree is not planted in good soil then the roots cannot take hold.
In Chinese Medicine we also look to the root of the health issue as well as looking at the manifestation or the weakness in the branches.
A good practitioner is able to diagnose and treat both the root and the branches in order to overcome any long-term chronic illness and allow the person to flourish as a healthy happy person with strong body and mind.
By using Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques including extensive questioning into your heath history, a treatment plan is tailored for you.
Chinese medicine uses numerous forms of diagnosis. Dr. Koreny will ask to look at your tongue (please don’t scrub it before you arrive at the clinic, we are not embarrassed to see how the tongue looks.) The tongue reflects much of the inner workings of the body and allows your practitioner to have some insight into your internal state of health.
She will feel your pulse- in some ways this is like a western doctor will do however, in Eastern Medicine we are looking for so much more in regard to your inner health and present wellbeing. We look are at the number of beats per minute (although that is important). Our diagnosis goes much deeper.
What to expect from an acupuncture treatment?
Acupuncture offers a drug free and effective pain relief, which is reliable and fast.A typical initial acupuncture session will last 90 min, it begins with a discussion of your problem and a physical examination, followed by the treatment session.The acupuncturist may then stimulate certain points on the body, either by inserting the fine metal needles, using a laser or with muscles manipulation with Tuena or cupping.
The needles used in acupuncture are typically much finer than the needles used to take blood, and the process is usually painless. The needles used are as fine as a thread of human hair, 10 could fit inside a typical hypodermic needle to take blood.
Once the needles are inserted, they will be left in place while you lie still, and hopefully relaxed for at least 20-40 min. As many as 20 needles may be used in one session.The needles may be turned or twirled as part of the treatment, gently stimulated with a herb called moxibustion or with a fine soft electrical current – but not usually with the first treatment. The needles will be removed at the end of the session.
