Balance Point Acupuncture is an environment of calmness, where peace welcomes you. All clients are on their own path and seek Chinese Medicine when it is appropriate for them. Therefore, it is important that each individual feels cared for and nurtured.
As a practitioner it is my intent to teach people that health and wellness are not based on physical factors alone. It is also important to share and increase the knowledge regarding Chinese Medicine as an alternative (though traditional) model of health care. Healing isn't about fixing the symptom with a band-aid. Healing incorportes an entire process of going to the root, and assisting the mind/body/spirit accordingly. All aspects are addressed. All clients are on their own path and seek Chinese Medicine when it is appropriate for them.
I primarily work with TCM theory (Traditional Chinese Medicine), utilizing the principles of yin and yang, and the zang-fu organ system. In addressing pain, I focus treatments around the style/theory of Dr. Richard Tan. For Tan, distal acupuncture points are used, instead of local points at the site of pain/injury. Most pain can be addressed with treatment points from elbows to fingers and knees to toes.
Other modalities I may incorporate into treatments include:
Cupping (Flaming Cups) - Using a flame inside glass globes, a vaccum is created over the skin. With the strong suction of the skin, toxins are pulled from muscle and connective tissue layers; increasing circulation and reducing stagnation.
Gua Sha - Using a type of glass soup spoon, carved wood or bone, the skin is lubricated with a linament and the intended area of discomort is 'scrapped'. This process breaks up muscle/connective tissue adhesions, increases circulation and reduces stagnation.
Moxa - Use of burning mugwart (a plant/herb) over the skin aids in warming the body, opening channels and moving stagnation. Moxa may be used in a condensed form as a moxa pole or stick-on moxa, or may be used in it's loose-fiber form, direct moxa.
Tuina/Shiatsu - Tuina is Chinese, Shiatsu is Japanese. Both are massage forms which use a combination of massage, stretching and acupressure to open channels, address stagnation and muscle adhesions.
I also incorporate and encourage the use of Chinese herbs to propogate treatment, as well as nutritional supplements to support and assist the body physiology.
I welcome phone calls, email and walk-ins.
