Acupuncture is one of the better known modalities in the Traditional Chinese Medicine toolbox. Acupuncture techniques reduce inflammation in the body and regulates the immune and nervous systems. Many people know acupuncture to help manage chronic pain, but it can assist in the healing processes throughout the entire body.

Commonly these days people use Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as a "last resort" to serious and complex medical problems and find that it can help them when other treatments could not. However more and more people are now using Acupuncture more proactively to compliment their regular health care regimens and finding their quality of life is greatly improved. Acupuncture is extremely successful in the treatment of a multitude of diagnosed health conditions, but is also helpful to manage health before a diagnosis is even given. When someone feels their body is "off", but lab results still look okay natural medicine practices like acupuncture are excellent at re-regulating physiology in the body to prevent a disease state from possibly occurring.

Acupuncture can be used to manage acute pain conditions, to help treat symptoms from more chronic conditions and disease states, and as a preventative medicine. Many people see their acupuncturist for a "tune up" or "balancing" treatment regularly for wellness care. Using acupuncture preventatively can potentially prevent disease and promote health, energy and vitality.

Dr. Amanda will look at the current state of your health, the onset of any conditions, and see what your constitutional diagnosis is to determine if Acupuncture can help you. Each person is unique and it would be difficult to determine just how effective acupuncture will be for you without a proper assessment.

Please note that Acupuncture is not a primary care medicine in the State of Wisconsin. It is a wonderful complement to Western medicine, but it is not a substitute for it. If you think you have a serious health condition or want a medical diagnosis you need to see a primary care physician. Acupuncture can provide complimentary care for conditions which require a physician's attention, but it is important that you manage your health with your primary care provider.
