The acupuncture treatments used at Listening Heart Medicines are done by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) evaluation, diagnosis and treatment protocol.
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, single use, sterilized needles in specific locations to assist the body in the harmonious circulation of energy. The specific locations where the needles are inserted are determined by a diagnosis and treatment protocol. Through the harmonious circulation of energy the body is able to heal itself more easily and balance what it out of balance.
For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has demonstrated how blocked energy is a major component of illness. Acupuncture clears energy blockages and supports you in healing and building a healthy immune system.
Acupuncture treatments are beneficial for colds, flus, chronic respiratory problems, headaches including migraines, digestive difficulties, depression, addictions, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, insomnia, menstrual problems, back and neck pain, physical and emotional trauma as well as most other health problems.
