Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body’s natural healing process, for improvement of all system functions. This is done by inserting sterilized, stainless-steel needles (as thin as human hair) into specific points and conjunctions located on the body. These points have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to treat a wide variety of illnesses by stimulating the nervous system. A Licensed Acupuncturist is a L.Ac., and only practices Acupuncture. An MSOM is a Master in the Science of Oriental Medicine, and has extensive training in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Acutonics is an integrated approach to health care grounded in Oriental medicine, psychology, science, cosmological studies and sound healing principles. This non-invasive methodology works with vibratory energy created through sound, applied to acupressure points on the body. This is a grounding and balancing method to use in place of acupuncture needles.

Traditional Chinese Medicine views the person as an entire energy system in which body and mind are unified, each influencing and balancing one the other. This is akin to the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems. Unlike Western medicine, which attempts to isolate and separate a disease from a person, Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes a holistic approach that treats the person as a functioning whole. TCM is made up of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, tuina (bodywork), moxibustion, and cupping.
