Musculoskeletal Imbalance (Pain)

Internal Organ Imbalance

Emotional Imbalance

Picture a garden hose that is pulled tight and has a kink in it. That kink is your pain. The pain is causing a blockage in the free flow of blood throughout the body. Acupuncture straightens out the hose to release the kink, which increases circulation and eliminates pain.

Pretend you have potted plants in your house and you go away for two weeks. No one comes in to water the plants so when you return home you find your plants withered and wilted. Your internal organs are like those plants.

Say you have acid reflux. When the stomach is healthy and functioning properly it takes food and drink and moves it in a downward motion toward the small intestine. When it is under stress from physical or emotional causes it begins to break down and lose its function. Instead of going down it goes up. Acupuncture acts like water and fertilizer, increasing circulation and bringing much needed nutrients and oxygen to the organ helping it to function properly and return to a downward motion, relieving the acid reflux.

The Chinese long ago discovered a link between the physical body and the emotions. Each organ has an emotion associated with it. When there is too much of one emotion it causes the organ to malfunction. We use acupuncture to treat the organ to function normally and as we do, the emotion levels out.
