Group Acupuncture medical history

What is Acupuncture?
Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow. Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi. By inserting and manipulating needles at specific points on the body, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote the body's ability to heal itself.

What Does Acupuncture Feel Like?
Many first-time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor’s office. They won't. Acupuncture uses hair-thin, flexible needles that you will hardly feel when I insert them. Most patients find acupuncture sessions deeply satisfying and leave the treatment feeling relaxed both mentally and physically.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The benefits of acupuncture are cumulative, so more then one treatment is necessary. For acute conditions you can expect to have 10 treatments, but you will usually begin to feel relief after the first one. Chronic conditions may take longer to respond, depending on the type, severity, and duration of the condition. Preventative treatments and treatments for general well-being may also be scheduled on an as-needed basis.

Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes. Acupuncture is used by millions of Americans every year. Acupuncturists are required to undergo extensive education, including detailed study of human anatomy and training in Clean Needle Technique. We have passed comprehensive national board examinations administered by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and are licensed by the state. As required by law, we use pre-sterilized, disposable, single-use needles to ensure your complete safety.

What to Expect at Your First Acupuncture Visit
Visits typically run 45 minutes and treatments are in a cozy, quiet room with up to 2 other people. This discounted treatment allows patients to get Acupuncture more frequently. Group Acupuncture is Acupuncture only. For the other Chinese Medicine modalities please schedule a private session. Many people find acupuncture treatment deeply relaxing, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during this time.

Our goal at Carolina Holistic Health is to help you and your family achieve the results you are seeking and help maintain optimal health with safe, natural and holistic acupuncture care. In order for you to get the most out of this worthwhile investment, we would like to share a few tips:
1. Each treatment builds upon previous ones. It is important to follow through with your future care plan in order to receive maximum benefit.
2. Follow the suggestions and self-care techniques we give you on how to maximize your treatments to support you on the road to health and wellness.
3. Please be patient. Healing with acupuncture care is a process, not a magic bullet. It takes time and is influenced by many factors.

What Can Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture works by activating the body's own healing powers, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented many symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effectively treated with acupuncture.
