Why Choose Acupuncture?

Acupuncture model with needles
Most people who choose acupuncture have decided to help their body do the healing.
Oriental Medicine is a natural method of healing. It has a continuous lineage of scholarship and practice for thousands of years. 5000-year-old mummies with tattoos of acupuncture points have been found! The World Health Organization recommends acupuncture for use with an extensive number of illnesses (see below). The National Institute of Health studies show that it is the most promising of all the complementary methods researched so far.

While Western Medicine is certainly effective in many cases, it has its limitations, risks and side effects. Oriental Medicine is safe, health-oriented and often has solutions for conditions that elude modern medicine. When multiple visits to the doctor have not given relief, when your goal is to maintain good health and not simply treat problems, in cases where Western medical protocol is too invasive or ineffective, Oriental Medicine can help. In fact, in traditional China, you paid your doctor to keep you healthy and stopped paying him when you became sick, because clearly he hadn't done his job!

Western medicine approaches health from the direction of symptoms and disease - when you have a symptom or pain that cannot be ignored any longer, a visit to the doctor (or doctors) follows. The doctor treats your problem in the best way he knows how, which is usually to prescribe medicines to try to kill of the germs, reduce the symptoms, or perform surgery. In contrast, Oriental Medicine looks at what aspect of your health was imbalanced enough to allow this illness to occur in the first place. It puts your body's resources to work to heal itself.
