Knowledge is power. "From its ancient roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern acupuncture now finds itself used in a diverse set of healthcare contexts. Acupuncture is now used by physiotherapists and chiropractors to treat musculoskeletal pain, by medical doctors to treat migraines and nausea, by midwives to assist with births, by the U.S. Military to aid in the safe transport of wounded soldiers and by drug and alcohol support workers to help treat addiction. "Many different styles of practice and traditions exist, including TCM, Five Elements, Japanese acupuncture, Stems & Branches, Western Medical Acupuncture and many others. Because it is so safe when practiced by qualified practitioners and it uses the body’s own healing mechanisms, it lends itself to inclusion in a diverse array of healthcare contexts."

In Chinese Medicine, the body is seen as a microcosm of nature. We are looking for a perfect balance to maintain health. When the balance is disturbed illness can occur. While we can't control the weather, we can control our relationship with it and how it affects us. Acupuncture can help your body "seasonally reset" as we transition from season to season. Ask Peter about it today!
DID YOU KNOW: The World Health Organization (WHO) released a report, Acupuncture: Review of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials, which endorses the use of acupuncture for over 200 symptoms and diseases (low back pain, headache, nausea/vomiting, allergic rhinitis, depression/anxiety, side effects of chemotherapy and induction of labor to name a few) and the U.S. National Institutes of Health issued a consensus statement proposing acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention for complementary medicine.
Did you know: Health, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, is not simply the absence of disease, it is a dynamic balance within oneself and between one’s inner world and the ever–changing outer world in which we live. While undergoing treatment for a specific condition, it is very common for patients to have other aspects of their health improve concurrently. Acupuncture is a powerful and effective form of medical treatment which originated thousands of years ago. Acupuncturists see people not only as they present themselves in illness but, more importantly, as they would be in perfect health. Learn more in link: http://www.braaschacupuncture.com/
Can acupuncture help with anxiety? “Acupuncture treatment helps shift the body back into a relaxed state where the sympathetic system is more balanced and no longer dominating,” says Flore. Several studies done on both animals and humans show that “acupuncture needling has demonstrable physiological effects on and may modify the neural functioning believed to be implicated in anxiety,” Rosa N. Schnyer, a clinical assistant professor of nursing at The University of Texas at Austin who researches acupuncture in the treatment of depression.

Can acupuncture help you sleep? More research is needed to find out exactly how much acupuncture can help improve sleep, but it can help you feel more relaxed and less anxious, which may encourage you to fall asleep easier. Acupuncture has also been shown to help manage sleep apnea, perhaps because it strengthens the tongue and prevents it from dropping back during the night and blocking your airway.

Since graduating acupuncture school, I have pursued a variety of ongoing studies and practices.

Learn about the fascinating history of acupuncture: Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine. Acupuncture medicine is about 5,000 years old and originates in China. One of the first uncovered documents that described this healing technique showed diagnoses and treatments. This document is known as The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, dating back to about 100BC. It is written in the form of a question by the emperor and presumably answered by his minister. Part of the text includes mention of anatomical locations of acupuncture points on the body that is still relevant to the procedure today.
