Our goal at Vitality Acupuncture and Healing Arts is to assist you to
feel better. It is possible to feel better the same day as your acupuncture treatment. You
might begin to notice a reduction in pain or an increased sense of relaxation during your
treatment, before you even leave the clinic. You will also notice a greater sense of wellbeing,
vitality, and feel a deeper awareness of your body and your life energy.
While I promise to do my part in assisting the healing process, I need your commitment to do
your part as well. Through acupuncture your body begins to heal itself. Illness or pain is a
sign that the body has gotten out of balance and has temporarily lost connection with its
natural healing abilities. Acupuncture acts as a catalyst for healing and restoration. There
are conditions that require more than a catalyst like acupuncture, though we can preempt many
illnesses through the use of acupuncture and herbal therapy.

Acupuncture can be used as a stand alone treatment or as an effective adjuvant accompanying
standard medical therapies. Having an acupuncture treatment a day or two before a surgical
procedure can decrease post-operative pain and speed healing. Acupuncture after a surgical
procedure or traumatic injury will decrease pain and swelling and quickly restore normal
function. Treatments during pregnancy for nausea, pain, and to turn breech presentations
(versions) are also wonderfully effective.
The goal of acupuncture is to prevent illness from occurring, though Western thought is more
geared to treating a disease that is already present. While some acute injuries or illnesses
can be relieved with a single treatment, often patients require a series of treatment, with
the duration and frequency dependent on the particular problem and the level that it has
become established in the body. Once the symptoms resolve, the frequency is decreased, or
treatment may be ended with full resolution of the ailment. Many people find periodic
treatments, with or without symptoms, are beneficial to their wellness. Because acupuncture
works by mobilizing and balancing Qi ("chee"), stressors or environmental changes can trigger
a disturbance in this flow. Common reasons to schedule a wellness session are with seasonal
changes to help prevent viral illnesses or recurrent episodes of chronic diseases, or during
periods of high stress at work or home. Many people just schedule quarterly appointments with
the seasonal shifts once they have reached a balanced state, with interim appointments if
needed for any reason.
Staying healthy requires you to take personal responsibility for your health. This means
regular exercise, eating healthy, and living a moderate lifestyle. Here at
Vitality Acupuncture and Healing Arts, we offer many different therapies to promote
mind/body/spirit wellness. You can find clinical nutritional counseling, medicinal herb
therapies, psychotherapy, massage and Reiki all in one office. And we are always looking for
additional ways to help promote our patients' wellness.
