Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic medicine, meaning that it treats an individual as a whole. Its theory was developed from the laws of nature and as a result provides medicine that will work with your body, enhancing its own unique healing properties. Two individuals may have the same ailment, yet may be treated completely differently based on the root (reason) for the problem. Therefore, it is highly effective in treating a variety of illnesses.
TCM encompasses acupuncture, Chinese herbology, Tuina (therapeutic Chinese massage), moxibustion, gwa sha, cupping, and a few other modalities.
Acupuncture
The foundation of acupuncture is that Qi (pronounced Chee) flows through energetic pathways called meridians. Just as blood flows through veins, Qi flows through these energetic pathways called meridians. Together, they provide nutrients. Each meridian is connected to specific body parts, organs, or glands.
A healthy body is one that has a consistent flow of Qi. When injury or disease occurs, Qi is obstructed. Hair thin needles are inserted into specific acu-points on the body, accessing Qi or Life Energy. Thus, restoring the natural balance of Qi and allowing the body to heal itself.
Chinese Herbology
The basis of Chinese herbology is the same as the basis of acupuncture. Specific herbs are used alone or together to balance the body. Pathogens that have invaded the body can be eliminated, deficiencies in the body can be supplemented, and traumas can be rectified. Mountain Acupuncture Clinic primarily uses herbs in a pill form, although occasionally powders can be used. Herbs allow treatment to continue outside MAC .
Primary Allergy Correction:
Have you or a loved one ever suffered from allergies? Can you imagine rebooting and strengthening your body’s immune system, and finding relief without taking prescription medication? It’s possible.
What Are Allergies?
Allergies are really just a case of mistaken identity. Your body comes in contact with an ordinarily harmless - and sometimes even helpful – substance (an allergen), for example: pollen, pet hair, molds, milk, dust, and even vitamins and protein. Your immune system mistakenly identifies these substances as harmful and is negatively programmed to them. Over exposure, a traumatic event, such as surgery and even pregnancy, how a food substance was processed, and/or chemical food additives all are causes of negative programming to the immune system.
In each case the immune system overreacts to the allergens and attacks them as if they are an illness. Symptoms vary from person to person; you may not even be aware that the symptoms are the result of allergies. Symptoms such as: fatigue, digestive trouble, gas, bloating, weight gain or loss, and skin problems can be caused by allergies. Many common health conditions are a sign of underlying allergies.
With over 10,000 substances available, Primary Allergy Correction has helped reduce or correct the allergies and conditions below:
Seasonal & Environmental
Food & Gastrointestinal
Chronic Conditions
How does it work?
The Primary Allergy Correction (PAC) treatment plan utilizes a combination of natural and noninvasive Western and Eastern healing practices, such as strength based muscle testing, acupressure, and reflexology to desensitize allergies. These procedures are a very specific process that allows the body
to heal itself naturally and painlessly.
The initial evaluation includes a comprehensive history, a complete allergy assessment which includes a minimum of 100 substances tested and the first treatment. The first visit will be approximately one and a half to two hours and follow up appointments are 45 minutes to one hour.
The treatments are based on retraining your immune system by positively stimulating specific acupressure points down your back and on your feet. Your immune system is much like a computer, when your computer gets a virus you run an anti-virus program and then defrag your files to put everything in the right place. This stimulation, while you are being exposed to the substance(s) being treated, reboots your immune system to no longer view the substance (s) as harmful. Once desensitized, your immune system will no longer react to these substances and the body's organ systems will return to a non-inflammatory state.
Energy:
Energy work, a gentle hands-on manipulation of energy, is one of the more transformative treatment options. Practitioners of Chinese medicine believe that all matter is filled with energy. Through various techniques, energy can be reconfigured to generate improved health. Everyone has the capacity to heal themselves in this manner, but they often need assistance from a trained professional. In partnership with you, we facilitate healing through Kinesiology and hands-on manipulation.
At Mountain Acupuncture Clinic, we are both facilitators and educators in the healing process. We enjoy guiding you through techniques that increase awareness of your mind/body connection. After gaining this understanding and awareness, many of these empowering methods can be easily incorporated into your daily life.
