What happens during an Acupuncture Treatment?

During an acupuncture treatment very fine needles are inserted into predetermined body
areas that act in a manner of energy vortexes. Different ancient techniques help regulate
deficiencies or excesses according to a person's disease patterns. Thus ten people with
the same disease may be treated all in a different manner while ten people with different
illnesses may receive the same or a similar treatment. Only the well-trained acupuncturist
with a deep understanding of the processes involved is in a position to come up with a
suitable assessment and treatment protocol.

Pain relief is but one of the strong points of acupuncture. It's action can go much deeper.
From immune system regulation to specific treatment and support of certain organs or
physiological body functions acupuncture has a very wide range of possibilities.
The Natural Medicine Centre offers
the following Acupuncture modalities:
Traditional Acupuncture
Ear Acupuncture
Electro-Acupuncture
Homeosineatry
Please NOTE -  In our clinic we use only

CCAOM (Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine)
and the
"Aseptic Practices and Clean Needle Technique" requirements established by the
EBNMP (Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners).

Ear-Acupuncture

Our ear is considered a mirror of our entire
body and its systems. Amply tested and
proven in a variety of drug-withdrawal
programs ear acupuncture finds its use
also in many other clinical situations.

Ear Acupuncture is performed by
temporarily inserting fine small needles
into one of the many "ear points". It is
particularly practical if, for one reason or
another, one or several of the relevant body
points cannot be accessed.  Your
practitioner also may send you home with
instructions to keep manipulating an
adhesion tape covered plant seed
(vaccaria seed), a tiny magnet, or even a
minute thumb-tag like needle that s/he
placed in certain points of your ears.

Treatable Conditions include:
Specific Pain Syndromes of
musculoskeletal nature
Some Pain Syndromes of internal
nature
Drug / Alcohol / Smoking
Withdrawal Symptoms
Immune System Booster
etc.
Electro-Acupuncture

More and more Hospitals are using
Electro-Acupuncture anesthesia. In daily
clinic use Electro-Acupuncture is one of
the most effective  tools in the treatment of
a variety of motion problems and for injury
rehabilitation. After setting the needles as
for any other acupuncture treatment tiny
electrodes are connected to the needles.
Small stimulating currents are then sent
through these needles. For safety
reasons most of the units used are
battery operated and can be fine tuned to
the individual comfort level of each patient.

Treatable Conditions include:
Knee or Elbow problems
Ankle or Wrist problems
Hip and Shoulder problems
Tennis Elbow
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Bone spurs
etc.
Homeosineatry / "Wet Needling"

Homeosineatry represents one of the most effective ways to ensure controlled delivery of
a homeopathic remedy.

Acupuncture needles are dipped in a specially prepared specific homeopathic remedy
prior to being inserted in the body (thus "wet needling"). This allows for acupuncture
points to be selected that have been shown to be particularly effective for certain
conditions, while the appropriate homeopathic remedy is being delivered "on target".

Treatable Conditions include:
Muscular and Tendon problems
Arthritic conditions
a variety of internal conditions
