Acupuncture
"No matter how advanced Western medicine becomes, there are aspects of the human body and the human spirit that will never be known."
Holistic Healthcare: Acupuncture is a holistic, energy-driven approach to health care based upon thousands of years of clinical knowledge. Whether treatment is provided in Portland, Maine, or another part of the world, holistic healthcare is the most plentiful medicine on earth with more than a billion people turning to this unique, proven combination of science and art for healing body, mind, and spirit.
Traditional Chinese Medicine: Part of traditional chinese medicine, acupuncture is rooted in the belief that the human body is incredibly resilient. It is about healing from the inside. Acupuncture goes beyond traditional medicine by focusing on the individual rather than the disease. This empowering and integrated medical treatment aims to restore a person's energy and balance, ultimately, leading to optimal health and enhanced quality of life.
Stimulation of Life Energy, "Qi": The basis of acupuncture involves the flow of life energy, called "Qi," inside the body. Wellness is directly related to the quality, quantity, and balance of Qi, which flows along specific pathways known as "meridians." When Qi flows freely, one thrives physically, mentally, and emotionally. On the other hand, an obstruction of Qi leaves people vulnerable to injury and illness. Acupuncture treatment stimulates Qi and promotes natural healing by inserting fine, sterile needles along acupoints on the body. In addition to effectively treating an array of medical conditions, acupuncture boosts the immune system and enhances the patient's overall well-being.
