Balance Method Acupuncture

At Wellness and Acupuncture, we use a fusion of different acupuncture styles to create a powerful healing combination. Taking traditional theory and combining it with modern research, we practice an effective and unique style of acupuncture.

Most acupuncturists in the United States use a method where needles are inserted directly into the painful or problem area. While this may seem logical, the problem with this approach is that one may run the risk of aggravating the dis-ease.  At Wellness and Acupuncture, our expertise is a different style of acupuncture. The method is ancient and is derived from the I Ching, one of the oldest books in the world. This style is taught in the US by Dr. Richard Tan as "The Balance Method." and the effects are nothing less than miraculous.

Balance Method Acupuncture is a minimal needle, distal point-only system of acupuncture. This method obtains rapid clinical results by dispersing the blood & qi blockage and harmonizing the blood & qi circulation in the meridians.  The acupuncture points most often used are from the elbows to the fingers, from the knees to the toes and on the scalp and ears. The treatments are efficient, comfortable and extremely effective. Pain relief usually occurs in seconds and long lasting relief usually occurs over a series of treatments.

Balance Method Acupuncture is effective in stopping pain, balancing the nervous system, regulating hormones, and strengthening the immune system. It is also used to increase energy, reduce stress, promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and strengthen one's constitution. Most people also experience a feeling of relaxation, peace, and well-being during and after the session.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbs are sometimes not as well known as the practice of acupuncture. Nonetheless, the herbs are actually just as important to your therapy as your acupuncture treatment. Herbal medicine is a major component of Chinese Medicine and has been used for over 3000 years in China and worldwide.  Chinese Herbal Medicine is based on the same theories as acupuncture and allow your therapy to continue when you are away from the clinic. We administer herbs in various forms including raw herbs, pills, powders, teas, and tinctures. Great care is taken in selecting the form of herb that assures maximum results and best matches the patient's lifestyle.  For more information see our About Herbal Medicine page.

Cupping

Cupping is an old technique performed in both China and the West. The process traditionally uses glass jars, heated to create a vacuum, and placed on the upper back to relieve acute illnesses such as colds and fevers.  Cupping can also be done all over the body to invigorate the flow of Qi and to relieve tension and pain. It is often used for treating upper and lower back ache, chronic nausea & vomiting, sciatica, frozen shoulder and more.

If cupping is deemed necessary for your condition, it is generally included in an acupuncture visit. A patient can also come in separately for a cupping treatment if he/she wishes.

Holistic Physical Therapy

Howard has been a Licensed Physical Therapist since 1970.  In current practice, he uses his vast physical therapy background and takes a holistic view of the body.  Instead of only treating a symptom, the root cause of the problem is diagnosed and treatment focuses on the whole. In 1973 Howard began seeing and feeling energy fields around his physical therapy patients.  As he interacted with these fields, many of his patients reported healing experiences.  For the past 35 years his focus has been on cultivating this healing ability through learning and integrating various healing techniques and systems.

Nutritional Supplementation

With an advanced applied kinesiology approach and in-depth knowledge of our patients, we recommend high-quality nutritional support to not only correct patients symptoms but to balance the whole body so symptoms do not re-occur.  We carry quality products from cutting-edge nutrition companies like Premiere Research Labs, Standard Process, BioPharma and more.

Matrix Energetics

Matrix Energetics is a complete system of healing, self-care and transformation. It is a transferable and teachable phenomenon, powered by intent, which has a physical and observable effect every time.

Matrix Energetics starts with a gentle light touch and the power of focused intent and builds into a new and joy-filled state that can affect life changes. This exciting tool can be used to heal, to transform and to create new possibilities. It's very much about transforming your beliefs concerning healing, disease and the structure of reality.

Matrix Energetics sometimes appears magical in its expression but is based on the laws and expression of subtle energy physics and the concepts and laws of quantum physics, superstring theory and Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance. Often you will see and feel a wave like motion when Matrix Energetics is applied, as the person being worked on experiences a smooth wave of transformation and the body seems to drop in a completely relaxed wave instantly. This can happen standing up, sitting down or laying on a table. What seems to be happening is that the unconsciousness and the biological physical fields are interacting.
