Acupuncture involves inserting very fine needles into points along the meridian (a pathway on the body where energy flows). This stimulates nerve branches, which improves blood circulation and has a positive effect on the body’s organs, brain function, digestive system, respiratory function, cardiovascular function, hormones, etc. in order to restore the human body to balance and harmony, thus, healing the injury and/or illness.
Our Acupuncturist, Simi Rahman, R.AC, believes in looking at the body as a whole, recognizing the interconnected nature of the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of each person. Simi may include Tuina, Cosmetic acupuncture and/or Cupping modalities in Acupuncture sessions to support the health and wellness goals of her patients.

The Advanced Therapeutics Team
In order to discover the root of the imbalance, Chinese medicine uses a four step procedure in examination. They are observation, listening/smelling, inquiry, and palpation. Based on the finding, the practitioner will then be able to prescribe the proper treatment to correct the imbalance.
Certain sensations are expected such as tingling, numbness, and pressure. This is called “de qi” (arrival of energy). Otherwise it is not painful at all.
No. It is normal to feel a ‘good tiredness’ (relaxed) feeling after the session. The energy flows best when the body is not stressed out.
No, payment is required upon time of service. You will be given an invoice to submit to your insurance carrier. Most carriers provide some form of acupuncture coverage.
