Acupuncture :: The White House Wellness Center

Acupuncture is a medical practice that encourages the body’s ability to heal and function better by stimulating specific points using hair-thin disposable needles. The growing number of professionals adding acupuncture to their services speaks to its effectiveness. A Registered Acupuncturist, however, is the most extensively trained in acupuncture.

A short list of what Acupuncture can relieve:

	Circulatory - cold hands and feet, hypertension
	Ear, Nose, Throat - dizziness, sinus congestion
	Gastroenteric - allergies, colitis, constipation, IBS
	Gynecological - infertility, prenatal, postpartum, PMS, menstrual and menopausal symptoms
	Mental Health Concerns - addictions, anxiety, depression
	Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue - acute injuries, fibromyalgia, joint pain, myofascial pain, neck and shoulder tension, rheumatoid arthritis
	Neurologic - insomnia, facial paralysis, migraines, post-stroke paralysis
	Respiratory - asthma, cough, hay fever

Acupuncture can resolve both acute and chronic disorders, and serve as a foundation for a preventative approach to health.

Japanese Acupuncture:

The gentle style I practice, Japanese Acupuncture, emphasizes no discomfort and relaxation to stimulate healing. It works well with children and for people afraid of needles. Needles the diameter of a human hair and a precise touch are key components. The personalized treatments can help you return to a healthy, active life. Take for example low back pain: treatment will call for relaxing the stressed muscles, promoting tissue repair, and building up the systemic ability to prevent future strains.
