About

Acupuncture is an ancient form of healthcare that originated in China at least 2,500 years ago. It has been practiced throughout the Asian world for many centuries. Acupuncture has been accepted into the Western mainstream culture since the 1970’s and is currently soaring in popularity throughout many parts of the Western hemisphere. Through the use of extremely fine needles, acupuncture works by manipulating the flow of Qi in the body, which is the life force or energy force that is present in all living things. Acupuncture theory suggests that there are 12 main meridians through which Qi flows. These meridians correspond to the major internal organs of the body. For instance, there is a liver meridian, a heart meridian, and so on. In each of these meridians, the Qi can become stagnant or deficient. Stagnant Qi means that there is a blockage or excess of energy, which can cause a variety of symptoms including pain, inflammation, headaches, high blood pressure, depression, and menstrual imbalances. Deficient Qi means that there isn’t enough functional energy within a given organ to perform its necessary duties. For instance, chronic diarrhea and fatigue can easily be caused by deficient Qi of the spleen. Acupuncture therapy typically involves inserting needles into several acupoints, which are specific locations on the meridians where Qi is said to gather. By manipulating the flow of Qi on a given meridian, stagnant Qi can be dispersed and deficient Qi can be tonified. As a result, the symptoms that correspond to these underlying energetic imbalances should naturally improve. Are you struggling with chronic health issues and are looking for natural and effective solutions? Are you frustrated with conventional medicine, have you tried everything and given up hope?

Review

My experience at La Paz Acupuncture gave me a new start. I originally went to him for help with my painful aging knees which I had been told by my doctor would need surgery. After ten treatments I no longer experience knee pain and am back to my hiking routine. Not only are my knees better, but the sessions left me feeling calm and balanced yet more energized at the same time. I found him to be caring in his approach, professional in his manner and thorough in his explanation of the process of acupuncture. I would highly recommend him.
