Quoting the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, Medical Acupuncture, as opposed to acupuncture, is the clinical discipline of acupuncture as practiced by a physician who is also trained and licensed in western bio-medicine. Thus, the approach to patient health care is a unique combination of western and eastern modalities - the best of both worlds.

With alternative medicine, the emphasis on the patient is his/her general health and well-being. The goal is to help the individual attain a state of balance and harmony within him/herself and with his/her environment. Traditional western medicine on the other hand approaches a particular problem or ailment by relieving the symptoms. However, any physician who incorporates the two modalities into his/her practice has a big advantage over those who practice just one discipline.

Our patients seldom experience side effects. There may be changes in your body that can be attributed to what is called "Healing Crisis". This occurs because the body undergoes an intense period of cleansing and rebuilding after the course of the treatment. In this process, the body is healing itself and becoming stronger. It is usually referred to as a "crisis" because the symptoms can be dramatic and rather unpleasant during this time. Usual reactions could include nausea, headache, changes in sleep patterns, emotional state, urination, bowel patterns, appetite or any other way the body uses to loosen and eliminate toxins. This usually lasts for a very short period only.

Even though there is a significant amount of improvement during the first treatment, we usually recommend a certain program for our patients. Treatments work cumulatively, the number of visits depending on the intensity and origin of the disorder or imbalance. Acute problems (lasting 3 months or less) are generally treated for 3 visits (once a week). Chronic illnesses or internal problems (lasting more the 3 months) are required 6 visits (twice a week). As the condition improves, the frequency of treatments decreases. It is also recommended that the patient come for maintenance (1 or 2 times a month).
