TREATMENT DESCRIPTION



East-West Acupuncture & Wholistic Arts is based on the Five Elements acupuncture system. Your course of treatment begins with a 1 1/2 hour session to gather information on your physical and emotional history. This "Traditional Diagnosis" determines the most effective course of treatment for you and how to best meet your needs.

Clients are often surprised and pleased with what shifts and changes after treatment has begun—both physically and mentally. And most report gaining a new set-point of less stress and greater ease in the face of normal ups and downs.

The needles used are the width of four strands of hair and there is a distinctive feeling when the point is reached by the needle. It's often described as a "zing" feeling, almost like a quick tingle. Some needles are left in for some time, while others are immediately removed. The duration of each treatment is approximately one hour, and its recommended you receive a minimum of four to six treatments.

Following the initial sessions, many clients choose to continue treatment to maintain a state of balance and prevention. You may also choose to be a participant in a small group called the "Peaceclinic." Whether you continue individual treatment or participate in the group, you are likely to benefit from positive changes in your health status and an increase in positive life experiences.
