Acupuncture

Every day, more and more people in southwest Michigan are discovering the benefits of acupuncture as a way to help them achieve and maintain optimal health.

While you may have heard that acupuncture is an effective treatment for both acute and chronic pain, you may not know that acupuncture has been a primary source of health care in China for more than 3,000 years. Today, the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health recognize that acupuncture is safe and effective for treating a wide range of health concerns. Billions of people worldwide, including your friends and neighbors right here in southwest Michigan, benefit from this safe and effective system of preventing disease, treating illness, and improving well-being.

EFT

EFT

We are very excited to offer EFT, an acupressure tapping technique, at the Acupuncture Center. While acupuncture uses needles to rebalance the body, EFT uses tapping on these same acupoints. The results are remarkable.

EFT has been used successfully for pain, anxiety, phobias, addiction, emotional stress, and much more. We use and teach EFT to help our clients heal more quickly and save money. Click for more details…

Quantum Bio-Feedback

Quantum Biofeedback uses amazing, cutting-edge technology via a device called the SCIO (Scientific Consciousness Interface Operating System), which is coupled with a computer. This device scans the electromagnetic frequencies of the body and is able to detect areas of stress. These stresses may be in the form of viruses, nutritional deficiencies, organ/tissue weaknesses, toxins, allergens, or emotional traumas. The SCIO communicates with the body to determine which energy imbalances are potentially affecting the health and can then feed back appropriate healing frequencies to neutralize destructive wave patterns.

 

Spiritual Health Coaching

“Emotions are our body’s reactions to our thoughts.” – Eckhart Tolle

Feeling stuck in a pattern of stress or pain? Spiritual health coaching may be for you. The cause of stress, illness, disease and suffering can often be traced to unconscious thought patterns and perceptions. Fortunately, with the discovery of energy techniques, clearing these old patterns is MUCH easier than previously thought.

In Spiritual Health Coaching, we draw from several exciting
energy healing tools (EFT, Quantum Biofeedback, ECT, Psych-K, and others) to help you easily and comfortably uncover and change those habits of thought and behavior that may be keeping you in pain, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. This healing that we begin within ourselves can then extend outward and beneficially affect those around us.

Bio-Mat

The Bio-Mat is a revolutionary healing tool that combines the health enhancing benefits of far-infrared light and negative ion technology with the healing power of amethyst crystals. It not only encourages a state of deep relaxation, but is also proven to improve circulation and cardiovascular function, improve immune system function, relieve pain and stiffness, improve skin, remove bodily toxins and increase metabolic processes. The Bio-Mat is FDA approved as a medical device and endorsed by NASA for its normalizing effect on important physiological functions such as those described above.

 

Cupping / Gua Sha

Cupping involves placing glass suction cups on the skin.  This increases the microcirculation and relaxes muscles that are tight or in spasm, helping to relieve pain.

‘Gua Sha’ is perhaps the most dramatic treatment we use for the relief of neck and shoulder stiffness and pain. It is remarkably simple yet effective. The skin is coated with a liniment (we use Tiger Balm), and then briskly rubbed with a ceramic soupspoon. It is understood that the pressure and stroking motion dislodge the encapsulated waste products and draw them to the skin surface where they may be eliminated from the body altogether. Patients will generally report a 50-90% reduction of pain and stiffness immediately upon conclusion of the treatment.

 

Nutrition

Nutrition plays an important role in the body’s healing process. At the Acupuncture Center we emphasize a healthy, whole foods diet specific to your individual constitution and tastes.

We do not believe one diet fits all, rather we have an individualized approach specific to your situation and conditions. We offer in-depth nutritional consultations, as well as ongoing guidance and encouragement, to help you gradually make healthier food choices.

Chinese Herbology

Chinese herbal medicine is a comprehensive form of medicine that can effectively address a wide variety of conditions. More than 100,000 different herbal prescriptions have been used and tested over many hundreds of years.

Herbal treatments are gentle and natural and promote a balancing or regulating effect on the body. Because they work gently, herbs are very effective for sensitive or delicate patients such as infants, elderly patients, and pregnant women.
