What can we do for you?
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a traditional medical modality that has been used for over 3,500 years. The needles used in the United States are sterile and single-use only. Tiny, hairlike needles are inserted into the body at well mapped out points that will essentially act like flipping a switch in the body. The matter of how acupuncture works still baffles Western science, but there are infinite international studies proving its efficacy.
Acupuncture generally does not hurt. What we expect is for the patient to feel a sensation commonly described as a tingling, dullness, or heaviness.
First session time: 20 minute intake, 30 minute rest
Subsequent visit time: 5 minute intake, 30-50min rest
NON-NEEDLE OPTIONS
Here at M we know that not everyone is comfortable with needles so we offer alternatives. These options are great for children.
A handled electrical impulse machine maybe be used to stimulate points in conjunction with or instead of needles, especially when there is muscle pain.
A red or blue laser device can also be used especially for very weak or sensitive patients.
Device session time: 15-30 minutes
CUPPING
In Oriental Medicine, glass or plastic cups are used to create a small suction on the surface of the skin. This modality is used in conjunction with acupuncture to move stagnant energy in your body that is causing pain.
Most people enjoy the sensation and liken it to having a massage. This modality will likely leave painless red circles on the body for 1-4 days.
Cupping session time: 15 minutes with cups on
HERBAL PRESCRIPTIONS
Chinese herbs can be used in conjunction with acupuncture and cupping to enhance and prolong the treatment. The herbs M Acupuncture uses are in pill or tablet form to cut down the amount of work on the patient's part. The companies M Acupuncture sources from are of the highest quality; most of the herbs are grown and processed in the United States while third party organizations do heavy metal and toxicity testing.
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
M Acupuncture is well aware of how much information on food is constantly circulating and changing. We know it is nearly impossible to know right from wrong, facts from sales pitches, and misleading vs. trustworthy sources unless you devote your life to truth-seeking. Fortunately for you, that's just what we've done at M Acupuncture.
