Acupuncture

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicinewas developed in China over two thousand years ago and is now used all over the world to treat a variety of diseases. The combination of these therapies has been very successful in treating tension headaches, migraines, the common cold and flu, skin disorders, depression, insomnia, certain forms of paralysis, muscular/skeletal injures, fibromyalgia, infertility amongst many other forms of illnesses and conditions.

Acupuncture involves the inserting of fine needles into your skin, along pathways on the body called meridians/collaterals. Once we evaluate all signs and symptoms demonstrated by you we make a diagnosis and choose selected points on the body accordingly, in order to bring balance and wellbeing into your life.

While receiving acupuncture you may experience sensations such as a mild dull ache, itchiness, heaviness and a running, moving sensation from one area of the body to another. This is normal and a good sign in the treatment process. Most of you will find acupuncture very relaxing.

Treatment time ranges from twenty to forty minutes and the observable results will vary from patient to patient depending on your current condition. In acute stages results can possibly be seen after one to three treatments and in chronic cases after five weeks. It is important that you keep to appointment schedules in order for an effective treatment plan.

Synerqi also uses non evasive, painless laser acupuncture therapy and auricular laser therapy (ear acupuncture). It is an effective method often used to treat hypertension, rhinitis, easing pain, reduce inflammation, insomnia and headaches. This therapy is second ONLY to acupuncture when you as a patient are fearful of needles.

Electro acupuncture is often used to treat muscular pain and injures at Synerqi. It produces small electrical currents transmitted to the needles stimulating particular points on your body harmonizing the flow of blood and Qi (energy) in the effected areas increasing the rate of recovery, reducing pain and inflammation. If you have back pain, a frozen shoulder, sciatica, tennis elbow, tendinitis or any other form of muscular/skeletal injury the electro acupuncture therapy services offered by Synerqi can help you.
