Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Chinese medicine is known as one of the original forms of holistic medicine dating back thousands of years. One of its most widely used and effective techniques is acupuncture. Acupuncture entails the careful and precise placement of very thin, sterilized, stainless steel, needles (more like pins, really) into various bio-energetic points of the body.

These points are linked together, like a circuit board, within the human body. Electrical currents must flow evenly at all times for the entire board to function properly. Any disruption of the flow of electricity will negatively affect the circuit board until it eventually fails. Acupuncture, in a way, is like re-soldering or re-establishing connections on the “circuit board” of the body, thereby re-vitalizing or energizing its bio-energetic flow.

“Pain is due to a disruption of the flow of energy throughout the meridians (channels) of the body. The release of energy through the meridians helps diminish the pain and also promotes healing, wellness and relaxation.”

- Dr. Allen Arnette - Director, ParkView Health and Wellness Center

What are the benefits of Acupuncture?

Scientific journals continue to prove the benefits of acupuncture. Researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand have concluded, after a systematic analysis of data collected from over 15,000 patients, that acupuncture has clinical benefits for chronic pain (such as low back pain) and functional improvement of the body (Chou R, Deyo R, Friedly J, 2015).

The American Medical Association concluded in 2017 that more natural techniques such as acupuncture, chiropractic, nutrition, massage, and yoga are fast becoming the more favored forms of treatment of illness and disease over surgery and pharmaceuticals.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST ACUPUNCTURE VISIT

After a comprehensive evaluation, a specific treatment plan is formulated for each individual patient, according to their specific needs. Along with acupuncture, the comprehensive health plan may also include chiropractic, herbs, supplements, diet, and massage.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic

Chiropractic medicine recognizes that the healthy condition of your bones, muscles and joints is vital to your overall state of health. Chiropractic, as a technique, is the physical adjustment of misaligned and displaced spinal vertebrae as well as the joints, muscles and connective tissue of the body to bring about an overall state of health and well-being.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST CHIROPRACTIC VISIT

Your first visit will include a thorough history and examination, resulting in a diagnosis, treatment, and a personalized wellness plan.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The chiropractic approach helps to maintain a balance in the vital relationship between the musculo-skeletal structures of the body and the nervous system. It does this by restoring proper nerve and energy flow, thus allowing the body to efficiently heal itself.

“As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I have witnessed first-hand countless stories of “miraculous” healing from my patients, many who have suffered for years from such chronic conditions as migraine headaches and neck and back pain have found their cures in chiropractic treatment.”

- Dr. Allen Arnette - Director, ParkView Health and Wellness Center
