The Relationship Between Acupuncture and Other Medical Care
Acupuncture is complementary to Western medicine. People who are under the care of a physician should continue treatment, including taking prescription medicines, according to their physician’s directions.

The Benefits of Five Element Acupuncture
According to principals of Chinese medicine, physical symptoms are viewed as warning signs of a deeper underlying imbalance. The focus of Traditional (or Five Element) Acupuncture is on balancing the underlying causative factors rather than suppressing the symptoms.

Acupuncture effectively treats a variety of health concerns, including: headaches, allergies, insomnia, back pain, menstrual difficulties, digestive disorders, addictions, stress, and depression. Changes can be dramatic or subtle. The more severe or long-standing the condition is, the longer it may take to treat. In addition to cessation of symptoms, healing may occur on many levels. Many people notice a variety of signs of improved general health and well being, such as increased ability to relax, improved sleep, emotional balance, and positive changes in bodily functions. Acupuncture can prepare the body for surgery as well as speed the healing process after an operation, major illness, or accident. Acupuncture may also be used as it was in ancient China, for health maintenance and preventative care.
