Acupuncture points are found along 14 specific pathways running throughout the entire body. These pathways are called meridians. Each one of these meridians has specific organ systems, emotions and anatomical locations that they connect to. For example: If a patient has stomach ulcers, our medical providers may choose acupuncture points along the stomach meridian to treat the ulcer. If anxiety accompanies a patient complaint then our providers may also add points along the heart meridian.
When one sees an acupuncturist, patterns of disharmony are first determined through evaluation of the pulse and by examining the tongue as well as through questioning and health history. Our medical providers will also check for structural imbalances along the spine and hips looking for areas of contraction and pain. Through this process, an accurate assessment of your condition can be discussed and treated from an Eastern medical perspective.
