Acupuncture
Report
It is hard to define what acupuncture is and there isn't a definitive understanding of exactly what is happening.
If you ask different practitioners they will all have their own version and understanding of what the therapy does.
The concepts of qi and blood, yin and yang, often seem exotic or "Woo Woo, " but imagine trying to understand how the human body is made, and how it works, five thousand years ago.
The words "qi, blood, yin and yang" are all concepts that explain the differences in what the Chinese people postulated about the body.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Report
Although herbs have become very popular and are easy to come by these days, Chinese Herbal Medicine is a very specific type of herbal regime.
By assessing the patient in all the ways we listed previously, we come up with a working diagnosis o guide our herbal strategy.
In Chinese Herbal Medicine, herbs are never given as single ingredients, instead the herbs are combined in formulas that have a specific recipe of ratios, dosages, functions and directions.
Like baking a cake or batch of brownies, the ingredients are combined in specific ways to create the proper chemistry of actions that will address that body, all based on the pattern of diagnosis that has been established.

Body Work and Manual Therapies
Report
Although people might mistake body work for massage, they are in fact separate.
Body work refers mainly to therapeutic forms that relate to the structural integrity and alignment of the body, many of which can be performed with your clothes on and without massage lotion.
At Five Points, we use Chinese Tui Na (Twee-Nah) methods to enhance our acupuncture treatments, which is a style of vigorous massage follows the same principles of Qi flow and channel theory.
Tui Na is designed to open channels, improve blood flow, clear adhesions, lubricate the joints, and allow the tissues to re-align themselves naturally.
