Acupuncture Without the “Puncture” – Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Technology
Acupuncture, a centuries-old healing procedure focuses on the integrity and harmony of bodily systems, not specific conditions. Along with chiropractic care, we use advanced, “no-needle” QiPulse Laser™ and StimPlus Pro Microcurrent™ acupuncture when we see health problems that seem to be caused by disruption to energy pathways in your body called meridians.
No Needles and Loving It
Non-invasive stimulation is applied to topical acupuncture points without puncture! It works just as well, takes less time and patients love it!
Feels Great
When we pulse the QiPulse Laser™ at special energy points on the body, there is no sensation. The 635 nm, 5 mW light energy output does the job. With StimPlus Pro Microcurrent™ most people report either no sensation or a small, comfortable vibrating sensation, like a tiny massage. There is virtually no discomfort and each point takes just a few seconds to stimulate.
Even Children Enjoy the Benefits
We treat children with the QiPulse Laser™ everyday. They not only smile when they receive their safe and painless treatment, they also like to watch their points light up with the colorful red beam!
How Does Non-Invasive Acupuncture Work?
Perhaps the best way to think about advanced laser and microcurrent acupuncture is to imagine rivers of energy throughout your body, organized by meridians. These meridians can experience a “log jam” and energy flow is restricted. The safe non-invasive, laser pulse or microcurrent stimulation helps loosen the logjam and allow energy to circulate properly. Most people experience a variety of post-session feelings, which range from energized to a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
AcuGraph® and Acuherb™ - Advanced Assessment and Treatment
AcuGraph® is a revolution in safe and painless, modern acupuncture evaluation, based upon Ryodoraku, an advanced discovery by Dr. Yoshio Nakatani in 1950 in Japan. It is a non-invasive lab test for acupuncture and lets the doctor know exactly what is out of balance and which acupuncture points to treat.
Acuherb™ is a new herbal technology, based on your AcuGraph® findings, to help the doctor precisely determine the best Chinese patent herbal formulas for optimum wellness and total healing.
How do we do it?
The entire AcuGraph® exam takes less than two minutes. A gentle measurement with AcuGraph’s® comfortable measurement probe is performed of master points on the hands and feet that correlate to each of your 12 pairs of acupuncture meridians.
The graph says it all!
AcuGraph® instantly provides a complete baseline, graphical analysis, interpretation and progress evaluations of your meridian energetics in a format that you can understand. Modern technology helps you receive the most precise recommendations, herbal prescriptions and meridian treatments for optimum outcomes.
Lend Me an Ear and Hear About Auriculotherapy
Auriculotherapy is the stimulation of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. It is also known as ear acupuncture.
How is Auriculotherapy different from Acupuncture?
Auriculotherapy is typically considered one form of acupuncture. Yet, it does not focus on the acupuncture meridian system or bio-energy channels. Rather, like chiropractic spinal adjustments correct subluxations and normalize the nervous system, stimulating points on the ear also removes interference from the central nervous system, to allow all parts of the body to function better.
How does it work?
Auriculotherapy is achieved in our office via safe, painless, QiPulse Laser™ or StimPlus Pro Microcurrent™ stimulation of the surface of ear reflex points, without any needles. Patients actually like the feeling because it causes an immediate stimulation and balancing of the body.
What is the History of Auriculotherapy?
The earliest written records of ear acupuncture date back to the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. In the West, the earliest references to ear treatments were referred to in medical records from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome and Persia.
Who discovered Auriculotherapy?
Modern applications of auriculotherapy are based on the work of Dr. Paul Nogier of Lyon, France in the 1950's.
Is Auriculotherapy accepted by Conventional Western Medicine?
Besides the fact that acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and used by millions of people worldwide, in November of 1997, a consensus panel of the U.S National Institutes of Health gave conditional approval of the practice of acupuncture. They included an evaluation of those studies which supported the use of ear acupuncture for pain relief and addiction treatment.
