An Ancient System, As Relevant Today as Ever

Acupuncture and Oriental medicine has roots back into the Stone Age. Practitioners and patients alike span the full spectrum of scientific, philosophical, spiritual and religious perspectives. The basis of Oriental medicine is the encouragement of the body's innate healing tendencies, the life force that is described by various names in nearly every world religion and form of science.

While modern physiology has clearly mapped out the nervous system and identified some aspects of how acupuncture works, the full effectiveness of acupuncture therapy cannot be adequately explained through the modern medical model or explained away by the placebo effect. This ancient system continues to offer a unique, relatively non-invasive and surprisingly effective system for explaining, identifying and correcting imbalance. The treatment of pain is the most well-known and documented use of acupuncture, though patients with virtually all forms of illness report benefits from its use since its focus is on correcting underlying imbalance and not just on fighting a specific illness. Because of this, Oriental medical theory and practice is just as relevant to the ills of today as it has been throughout history. Furthermore, it has proven to be flexible enough for application to new illness, never before encountered, and to people everywhere regardless of ethnic or religious background.

Within the past thirty years, acupuncture has been receiving a great deal of recognition within the United States. As acceptance is increasing within the main stream medical system, a new model of medicine is emerging where practitioners from across disciplines are beginning to collaborate in combining therapies through cross referrals and even fully integrated care clinics. This new model of medicine helps to ensure that patients have a chance to consider all their options, using less invasive procedures when appropriate.
