How Does Acupuncture Work in Burke VA?

Acupuncture works by helping the body to get more out of its own natural healing resources. Our bodies produce a wide range of natural pain relieving substances, natural anti-inflammatory chemistry, hormones, immune system enhancers, and so forth, all without the need for outside drugs. In fact, some of our most effective drugs are man-made synthetic copies of the chemistry our body makes naturally like cortisone. In modern medicine we made the mistake of assuming that when a problem lingers and is not healed right away by our internal natural resources, this must mean it is beyond our body’s ability to heal. We then look to bring-in outside resources likes drugs or surgery to address the problem. The fact is though that just because a problem is not healed right away by our internal resources does not necessarily mean it is beyond those resources. We don’t always get 100% from our inside self-healing resources. Acupuncture helps us squeeze more out of our natural ability to heal ourselves – to get closer to 100% of our full potential.

Your body has already been trying to heal your problem but has not yet been able to get the upper hand on it. A good course of acupuncture treatment should always be able to help anyone to improve their body’s healing efforts by at least 10-20%. What I need to figure out is whether or not the 10-20% boost from acupuncture will make the difference needed to help your body to finish the job. Acupuncture helps to balance the body allowing the body to heal optimally.

Auriculotherapy, also known as ear acupuncture, is a treatment strategy that involves stimulating acupuncture points on the ear to resolve health conditions in other parts of the body.

What Makes Our Acupuncture Treatments Different?

We perform this analysis at each visit to ensure you are improving and make changes to your treatment plan as you are improving.

AcuGraph Analysis

AcuGraph Analysis is a scientific approach to acupuncture diagnosis. We measure electrical skin resistance at acupuncture points to see on a computer screen where your body has electrical imbalances. This analysis helps us better understand the underlying cause of your health conditions, which helps us solve your problems quicker. We perform a graph analysis each time visit so we can monitor your progress and modify the treatment as you improve.
