What Is Acupunсture?
Acupuncture definition is based on a holistic medical treatment which has evolved into an effective system for whole health and wellness. Alongside techniques like aromatherapy, acupuncture at Pulse Acupuncture promotes natural healing through the insertion of tiny needles that activate Qi energy throughout the body. This helps achieve balance within both the body and mind. The basis of all traditional Chinese acupuncture is energy. This energy is the force that engulfs every cell. All our cells and tissues conduct and transfer energy through protein molecules, giving us life. This energetic source flows throughout every aspect of our body, invigorating our organs and powering the processes that link them as well. This electromagnetic force directs every chemical and hormonal release.
In the human body, Qi manifests in several different ways. Qi is a kind of bioelectrical force that flows throughout the body, carried by an extensive network of 14 channels called “meridians”. These meridians are invisible to the naked eye, yet they have been mapped out over the course of thousands of years of observation and experimentation by TCM acupuncture physicians. As electrical energy flows from one place to the other, it encounters resistance that builds up from the channels it’s flowing through. When a metal needle which is an excellent conductor of electricity, inserted into an acupuncture point, a resistance is decreased promoting the flow of energy along that meridian. Since the meridian connects a whole series of tissues and organs, an acupuncture point on the leg or arm can regulate the energy through different organs. The meridian pathway flows to provide nourishment to every cell, organ, gland, muscle and tissue in the body. TCM acupuncture is painless, utilizing thin, hair-like needles that are placed at strategic energetic points to activate natural, self-healing abilities of the body. Acupuncture points along the affected meridians will correct the normal flow of Qi and will restore your health and balance.

What types of acupuncture do we offer?
Esoteric Acupuncture
One of the few techniques that differs from traditional approaches as it highlights the importance of well-being, not just the elimination of disease, and focuses on awakening and refining the inner spiritual higher self. This gentle form of acupuncture is designed solely for well-being and aims to balance and harmonize the chakras, ultimately increasing one’s level of consciousness.
Sports & Orthopedic Acupuncture
This type of acupuncture is a specialized form of treatment aimed at relieving pain and improving athletes’ performance. This ancient Chinese practice involves the strategic placement of tiny needles at specific points on the body to affect injuries, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture is an age-old technique that has been gaining popularity once again in recent times. This technique involves using tiny needles to stimulate certain points on the face, neck, and head, which balance the flow of energy and promote healing in the body.
Neuro-Acupuncture
Neuro acupuncture is a life-changing treatment that uses the power of acupuncture to heal the body and mind. This ancient form of therapy has been used for thousands of years, and is more effective now than ever in addressing a range of neurological conditions like migraines, anxiety and depression.
Acu-Nova (Vision & Eyes conditions)
It is a holistic healing practice that has gained popularity for its effective treatment of various health conditions, including eye-related ailments. Acu-Nova employs a combination of traditional acupuncture techniques and modern technology to stimulate specific points on the body that relate to the eyes, resulting in improved vision and eye health.
Auricular Acupuncture
Ear acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that involves stimulating certain points on the ear with small needles. The idea behind auricular acupuncture is that the ear is a microsystem of the entire body, and by stimulating certain points on the ear, doctors can treat various physical and emotional conditions.
Trigger points and Motor points release
Trigger point and motor point release techniques are effective ways to reduce muscle tension and pain. Releasing these points with targeted pressure helps loosen muscle fibers and promotes blood flow to the painful area, resulting in decreased pain and increased range of motion.
