Acupuncture is an effective form of health care which has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. As with Chiropractic, acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
At the core of this ancient medicine, is the philosophy that Qi, (pronounced “chee”) or Life Energy, flows throughout the body and protects it from illness, pain and disease. A person’s health is influenced by the quality, quantity and balance of Qi. Qi flows through specific pathways called Meridians. There are 12 main meridians in the body. Each of these is connected to specific organs and glands.
At Fulk Chiropractic & Acupuncture we use a technique called Electro Meridian Imaging, or a Meridian Graph, to measure any imbalances of Qi in the body. Once we find the imbalances, we then use a combination of needles and/or electro stimulation to treat specific acupuncture points to bring the body back into balance. This can take anywhere from 4 to 10 visits depending on the chronicity of the patients problem. |
