Acupuncture and Oriental medicine are  traditional healing arts that originated in China.  These natural healing arts have been used in the Orient for thousands of years to promote and maintain health. 

Oriental medicine  includes:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a safe and painless method of treating various ailments of the body.  It is used to stimulate the energy of the body to heal itself and to flow more harmoniously.  The energy flows in meridians or channels throughout the body; acupuncture needles help to stimulate and strengthen this flow.

“Acupuncture” includes various methods of stimulating acupuncture points and meridians, such as heat (moxibustion) and pressure (cutaneous stimulation).  Various methods can be applied to specific conditions.

Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbs are a safe and effective method of promoting healing in the body.  Herbs are usually given in the form of a formula , but sometimes in pill form.

Different Chinese herbs have different properties, which when combined synergistically harmonize to dispel disease and illness or strengthen the body.

Proper diagnosis is important to safely administer Chinese herbs.

Oriental Therapeutic Massage

Robert combines acupuncture with gentle Oriental therapeutic massage techniques and energy work, to help each patient to learn to relax, let go, and heal their own body.

Lifestyle Recommendations

Finally, but probably most importantly Robert gives patients recommendations to take home and implement on their own.  These recommendations can take the form of exercises, meditation, dietary changes, or simply resting, sleeping, and relaxing more.

Leading a healthful and harmonious life are the crux to healing in Oriental medicine.
