Integrative Acupuncture

Acupuncture has its roots based within traditional practices of Japanese and Chinese acupuncture – the use of the meridian, neuromuscular, and fascial systems.

The meridian system is the energy pathways that travel through the body. The neuromuscular system is made up of the connections between the body’s muscles and the nervous system.

The connective tissues between skin and muscles or other organs form the fascial system.

Acupuncture encompasses both the physical and energetic spheres, with the aim to achieve balance between mind, body, and heart. The method is to use very fine, single use sterile needles to either facilitate or shunt energy throughout the body, helping to eliminate the root of the cause of pain as well as the symptoms.

For those who have problems with needles, there is an alternative treatment technique called Shonishin. Shonishin is where blunt, non-insertion tools are used in a method of stroking the meridians to achieve the same benefits.
