Acupuncture

AcupunctureAcupuncture, one of the main forms of therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been practiced for around 3,000 years.  In acupuncture, certain points on the body associated with energy channels or meridians are stimulated by the insertion of fine needles (or needle-less form using a new age tool to stimulate the points).  Unlike the hollow hypodermic needles used in mainstream medicine to give injections or draw blood, acupuncture needles are thin, solid and can hardly be felt. Most of my patients would describe them as nothing more than a tap or tingle. You'll also be amazed at how small they are.

Amy Satterfield, LAc,, MSOM is Board Certified by the NCCAOM in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and Dr. Brad Woodle, DC, CCSP(R), FASA, CSCS is Board Certified in Acupuncture by the NBCE, Advanced Certified, and is a Fellow of the Acupuncture Society of America. Both practitioners are continually researching and adding new therapeutic techniques to improve results and effectiveness by combining tradition, research and new technology.

One example of this technology is the Acugraph, which uses a computer based screening that can show you your Qi in relation to your 12 meridians and balance of Yin and Yang. This is one of many tools that we may use to help treat you most effectively in addition to educate you on your treatment is progressing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Acupuncture restores health by removing energy imbalances and blockages in the body.  Practitioners of acupuncture believe that there is a vital force or energy called Qi (pronounced "chee") that flows through the body and between the skin surface and the internal organs, along channels or pathways called meridians.  There are 12 major and 8 minor meridians.  Qi regulates the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical harmony of the body by keeping the forces of yin and yang in balance.  Acupuncture may be used to raise or lower the level of yin or yang in a specific part of the body in order to restore the energy balance.

Acupuncture with amazing results, again and again.
By JK - I've been a patient of Dr. Woodle's since July 2008. I first went to him for acupuncture for severe pain management. He correctly diagnosed and treated the underlying issue extremely successfully. Weeks later, I went back for acupuncture for other issues, which he also helped me with. And then in the final stages of my pregnancy, I went back for acupuncture to stop early labor pains, which he again treated successfully and then I got the best night of sleep in weeks! Dr Woodle is extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful. If you are considering this because you have an issue, this is the best $ you could spend! A bargain!
