Nothing is more true...#orientalmedicine #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #mindfulness #mindfulmonday
Acupuncturists are able to look at your tongue and make a diagnosis about some of your discomforts or any illness you might have. So the question is what is your tongue really saying about you? #tonguediagnosis #orientalmedicine #topictuesday #acupuncture #tongue
Be mindful, be well, try acupuncture. 😊 The benefits from acupuncture are endless....The FDA now recommends to doctors to send patients to an acupuncturist before prescribing addictive painkillers. Acupuncture also reduces anxiety and those horrible “text” headaches as well as being used more and more for facial rejuvenation. #acupunctureworks #acupuncture #mindfulmonday #facialrejuvenation #painmanagement #orientalmedicine
Food for thought....Let our clinic help you reach your optimal level of wellness.
#acupunctureworks #thursdaythoughts #inspirationalquotes #orientalmedicine #wellnessjourney
Patients often wonder if they are sleeping or meditating during acupuncture sessions. Research shows that the brainwaves switch from Alpha to Theta waves (relaxing and meditation) during acupuncture treatments creating a sense of calm whether you actually fall asleep or not! The benefits of this serene state stick with you long after your treatment, leaving you feeling rested and renewed for the rest of your day. #acupunctureworks #stillness #rejuvination #wellnesswednesday #orientalmedicine #acupuncture #meditation #chinesemedicine
Remember Michael Phelps swimming with all those red marks....The benefits of cupping in addition to acupuncture are immense. Cupping helps bring back healthy blood flow to sore, tight muscles resulting in healthy tissue. VUIM not only teaches students how to utilize cupping in conjunction with their acupuncture treatments but also offers cupping to patients who come into the clinic. So stop by today to find something to help with pain management! #cuppingtherapy #acupuncture #cuppingmassage #orientalmedicine #topictuesday #mindbodysoul
Today’s busy lives leave us feeling stressed, fatigued, and overworked which leads to illnesses both mentally and physically.
