About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of a comprehensive diagnostic system that has been practiced in China for more than 2,000 years. In 1997, the National Institute of Health acknowledged acupuncture to be a safe and effective treatment for many conditions including chronic pain, fatigue, immune system enhancement and stress reduction. Acupuncture and adjunctive therapies treat the patient as a whole and address the underlying cause of disease. Health is achieved and balance is maintained by regulating the flow of qi (chi) along pathways known as meridians.
What To Expect
During your initial consultation, your acupuncturist will spend over an hour reviewing your health history, chief complaint and any other factors that may impact your health. The practitioner will want to obtain a complete picture of your health to design a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all of your health needs. Most patients report feeling a sensation of warmth, tingling or pressure during the insertion of the needle with minimal or no pain. Some people are energized by the treatment, while others feel relaxed. Everyone's experience is unique.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of sterile, disposable, fine needles into specific points located near or on the skin's surface. Acupuncture stimulates the body's biochemical and physiological responses to promote the natural healing process. Adjunctive therapies may include cupping, gua sha, heat therapies or electroacupuncture.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture is a specialized treatment designed for the reduction of fine lines and treatment of several skin disorders. Treatment benefits include increased collagen production, muscle tone and enhanced blood and lymph circulation.
Tui Na
Tui Na is a Chinese form of orthopedic massage which includes acupressure, trigger point massage, deep tissue massage, mobilization and deep stretching techniques.
Nutritional Counseling & Exercise Rehabilitation
Eastern and western nutritional therapies are combined with appropriate therapeutic exercises to develop a customized plan for optimal health.
Cupping
Cupping involves the placement of small glass cups over specific parts
of the body. A pump is used to create a vacuum between the skin and the
cup, drawing the muscle up slightly. Cups may be left stationary or moved
(with a salve/lotion). Cupping is used to help generate the flow of blood,
lymph and energy to the treated area and treats muscle stiffness/pain,
chronic or acute lung or nasal congestion & asthma. Cupping is
available at Healthworks Brookline.
