The plan is to still host classes in our new spacious classroom as well as to continue to cross collaborate with the many amazing and talented healers in the Central Valley, I also plan to expand these classes to offer specialised healing retreats in 2022. I have a new location and have joined forces with The Good Therapy Collective. Whats new? I have decided to downsize my practice in order to focus more on the calling I have heard now for the last year. This last year brought many changes to Luminessence and I welcome the shifts these changes will allow me in the months ahead. Needles are disposable and sterile.Happy New Year!!! The wheel has once again turned and a new year with new opportunities awaits us all. How safe is acupuncture? Acupuncture is a very safe modality of when practiced by a trained and licensed practitioner. Each client will vary in number of visits but a detailed treatment plan will be determined during the initial visit. Chronic conditions that have been experienced for years may take 8-12 sessions for to notice a significant change. Acute conditions or conditions that are new to the body can take 2-4 sessions. How many visits will I need? Number of treatments will vary depending on several factors. Please avoid alcohol, caffeine or any other substance that may interfere with effectiveness of the treatment. Be sure to have eaten before session since some patients may experience lightheadedness. Treatments are very relaxing and most patients will will fall asleep.Īnything I should do before acupuncture session? Please wear loose comfortable clothing. Patient may experience a dull, achy or tingling sensation which is desired affect that is associated with movement of energy within the area. The needles used are extremely thin and hair like. Needles are inserted and retained for about 20 minutes.ĭoes it hurt? Acupuncture generally is not painful. Typically each acupuncture treatment thereafter takes about 45 minutes. How long are treatments? First treatment may take up to 1.5 hours due to initial examination. A Chinese herbal formula may also be suggested to help strengthen the acupuncture treatment. It is necessary to take all of these factors into consideration to create an individual treatment plan. This can take into account your physical, emotional, mental and nutritional condition. This is important in Oriental medicine since we look not only specific symptoms but how this can effect the body as a whole. What should I expect during first acupuncture session? First session will include a detailed health history of your main health concerns and also other symptoms. This facilitates healing by allowing the transfer of material and electrical energy between normal and injured tissues.Īcupuncture activates non-nociceptive receptors that inhibit the transmission of nociceptive signals in the dorsal horn, "gating out" painful stimuli. This facilitates healing by allowing the transfer in tissues. The release of neurotransmitters influences the immune system and the antinociceptive system.Īcupuncture affects the blood concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol and phosphlipids, suggesting acupuncture can both raise and diminish peripheral blood components, thereby regulating the body toward homeostasis.Īcupuncture stimulates the release of norepinephrine, acetylcholine and several types of opioids, affecting changes in their turnover rate, normalizing the autonomic nervous system and reducing pain.Īcupuncture affects the electrical system of the body by creating or enhancing closed circuit transport in tissues.
