Healing Spirit Acupuncture with Dina M. Singer, L.Ac.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a method of healing that is based on the natural laws influencing the movement of energy in the body. Qi (pronounced chee) is the life force that invigorates, sustains and protects us. It flows throughout the body along meridian channels.
When it is flowing smoothly, there is little to no upset, pain or disease. Illnesses can arise when this energy gets blocked or out of balance. When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points, these blockages can be dissolved and balance restored.
What can acupuncture help with?
- Anxiety
- Back pain / Sciatica
- Calming Anger
- Calming the Mind
- Depression
- Digestive issues / constipation / reflux / diarrhea
- Fertility issues
- Grief processing
- Headaches / Migraines
- Insomnia / Sleep issues
- Mood swings
- Neck pain
- Panic attacks
- Shoulder pain
- Vertigo
- These are some common ailments, NOT a complete list
Does acupuncture hurt?
Some patients report feeling the initial sensation of a needle being inserted and others report not feeling the needles at all. When a meridian is blocked and a needle is inserted, energy is awoken and begins to move freely again. It can be very powerful.
The needles are very thin, disposable, and sterile. Sometimes the needles are left in, other times they are inserted and then removed immediately. Most report that the ultimate result is deeply relaxing and healing.
