Three Ways Acupuncture Can Help You

When you're considering whether or not acupuncture is right for you, the answer to the question "How can acupuncture help me?" is vital.

The first thing I suggest is a free private consultation. If you talk to me directly, I can outline a treatment plan that is right for you. Your consultation might be completely different than if I talked to your friend, your spouse or another family member. The reason for this is that people seek acupuncture treatment for different reasons.

1. Symptom Relief - Many people just want relief from their symptoms. If the body is a garden, symptoms are burgeoning weeds that choke its natural beauty. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs cut back the weeds. I pride myself on my ability to relieve symptoms; for many of us, a good quality of life is about stopping pain and creating a sense of ease.

Here in the US, we tend to view the body as a machine that is often
hacked by a foreign enemy known as disease. Chinese medicine
focuses on the body as a garden that can be cultivated to heal itself.

2. Corrective Care - Corrective care is my specialty; it focuses on removing the cause of your symptoms. Underneath most pain is inflammation. Weight gain is a symptom of a metabolic disorder. Addictions are a combination of neurological and emotional imbalance. We could work on symptoms forever, but to provide long-lasting relief and freedom, corrective care is necessary.

3. Preventive Care - I have clients who attribute their continuing health to their investment in acupuncture. Assisting the immune system can prevent illnesses in the future. Balancing your health early will promote your well-being for months and years to come. Studies have shown that acupuncture clients report fewer symptoms years after the end of their treatment plan.

Whether you're thinking for the future or putting out today's fires, Lakes Area Acupuncture is here to help. During every session, you can count on attention to your needs at this specific moment, as well as a far-reaching vision of your overall health. It's never to late or too early to make the call.
