History of Acupuncture

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and history have a
  an ancient and richly developed relationship.
  Lets begin our journey with the recent
  translation into Western culture around the turn
  of this century.
• Chinese Medicine began to get noticed in 1928
  when Soulie de Morant, the French consul in
  China, returned home with the Chinese medical
  texts he had translated into French and persuaded
  several doctors to examine the practice.
• Interest grew steadily throughout Europe and
  America after World War II. The Acupuncture
  International Association was founded in 1949 by
  a group of nonconventional physicians in the
  United States. J. R. Worsley established the
  Chinese College of Acupuncture in England in
  1960.
• Unites States interest was slower to grow until
  the early 1970s, when the United States
  re-established friendly relations with the
  Peoples Republic of China.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• Its certainly effective medicinebut HOW does
  acupuncture work? Chinese Medicine and the
  practice of acupuncture have a fascinating
  history that extends 5000 years before the
  present.  Here are some of the key points to
  consider
• Performed advanced human dissection for study
• Amassed a wealth of anatomical and
  physiological knowledge via autopsy.
• Identified of all of  internal organs
• Mapped the entire musculoskeletal system
• Understood the vascular system and even grasped
  the concept of immunity.
• And keep in mind, many of these achievements
  occurred 2000 years before the Western worlds
  understanding of the same concepts!

What Does Acupuncture Treat?

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• The short answer is that acupuncture can really
  address almost any disorder that Western Medicine
  can, but thats a bit of a vague answer.
• But lets take a closer look at how Chinese
  medicine addresses illness
• In terms of the Chinese medical framework, the
  focus is primarily on the person, and secondarily
  on the illness. This perspective is know as Root
  Branch Theory, branch being the manifesting
  symptoms of the disease and root being the basic
  cause of the disease itself.
• This is very different from the Western
  allopathic model of medicine, where the symptoms
  are the focus of diagnosis and treatment, and the
  whole person is considered last, if at all.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• One of the most common misconceptions regarding
  acupuncture needles is that they are going to
  hurt. Let me put your mind at ease
• The instruments that I use are very fine,
  filliform and stainless steel. They are sterile
  packaged and then discarded after a single use.
  They are very different from the scary
  hypodermics that you may be accustomed to when
  receiving a shot from the nurse in a Western
  hospital. Whereas ours are small and solid,
  hypodermics are large and hollow.
• In fact, 10 needles can fit into the hollow
  opening of a single hypodermic! Because of their
  small size and advanced design, they are
  virtually painless upon insertion.
• So no need to worry.

Acupuncture Needles

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• Needling therapy, otherwise known as acupuncture,
  is the insertion of small, solid needles into
  body tissue in order to produce a response. The
  overall response goal of this type of therapy is
  always to restore balance. How is balance
  restored, you might ask? Most treatments will
  focus on reducing pain, promoting proper blood
  flow, equalizing immune function, and balancing
  organ function.
• Acupuncture is more than just sticking small
  stainless steel rods in the body, of course. As
  your practitioner, I must consider which points
  are going to work best for your condition.

Acupuncture Side Effects

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• Generally, no.  Acupuncture is a very safe method
  of encouraging the body to promote natural
  healing and improve function through homeostatic
  balance (internal balance). Done properly,
  acupuncture rarely causes any serious side
  effect. Normally, you will feel very little upon
  the insertion of the needle.  After the needle is
  inserted, you may feel a dull achy sensation or
  pressure, which is entirely normal and actually
  desired!  
• A common acupuncture side effect during treatment
  is sleepines and you may fall asleep on the
  table. This is a normal reaction and is usually
  an indicator that your body is in need of some
  serious down-time.  In our world of super
  productivity, you may feel driven to push your
  body beyond its normal limits in order to get
  things done.  You may not realize just how run
  down you are until you are given permission to
  truly relax, as is indicated during an
  acupuncture session.
• Occasionally, you may get dizzy, experience
  nausea, or even a general euphoria during a
  session.

NAET Allergy Elimination Technique

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• An allergy is any adverse reaction to something
  that may not cause sensitivity to most other
  people.  In the Western world, an allergy is
  caused by an overacting immune system. From a
  holistic approach, NAET views an allergy as the
  brains perceived notion of a substance as a
  threat to the bodys well-being.
• Our brain is a hugely complex computer that
  conducts countless operations every second
  through its electrical system, otherwise known
  as our Nervous System.  Our nervous system
  transmits information along nerve pathways via
  chemical messengers that create an electric
  circuit throughout the body.
• This electric circuit causes every cell in our
  body to emit an electromagnetic field that
  emanates outward.  In fact, all living creatures
  on earth emit an electromagnetic field.

• I also need to consider what your basic body
  constitution is, whether or not your condition is
  primarily excess of deficient, acute or chronic,
  and originating from the exterior
  (weather/environmentally related) or from the
  interior (originating from lifestyle habits or
  genetically inherited).

Herbal Medicine

• Address 4928 W 28th Ave
  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• Herbal Medicine is often not on my patients minds
  when they come in for Chinese Medical treatment.
  They are generally thinking about receiving
  acupuncture. Acupuncture, however, is often only
  a single facet of your treatment regimen.
• Equally important is the component of Chinese
  herbal medicine.  Herbal medicine is our
  internal medicine component.  Herbs are used to
  treat disease and disorders by ingestion of
  specific substances.
• Herbs are also one of the oldest (and most
  popular and widely used) forms of health care. So
  please be open to the idea of Chinese herbs as
  part of your treatmentthey are extremely
  powerful and can really enhance the results you
  will get.

Gua Sha

  Denver, CO. 80212 Phone No. 303-669-4529

• Gua sha is a manual treatment applied to the
  muscles and tendons using a small tool. The
  purpose is to promote blood circulation and
  remove stagnation, thus restoring normal flow and
  function to the area being treated, and reducing
  any inflammation that may be present.  It is
  especially useful for stiff neck and shoulders,
  and tight, tender backs.  As with cupping, it is
  also useful in treating colds and flus as well.

  feels like a wonderful massage

Food Therapy

• Chinese food therapy began with the first
  development of farming techniques. They began to
  understand that food could be used to protect
  from and fight against disease, and subsequently
  they developed a system of food flavor and organ
  system associations.
• The Chinese concluded that there were 5 Flavors
  of food. Each flavor influences a specific organ
  to produce a physiological response relative to
  that organ. The 5 Flavors Their Corresponding
  Organs and Tissues
