Acupuncture is an ancient therapy that has been practiced for centuries. This therapy largely utilizes the insertion of very fine needles into specific points along the body shown to have profound therapeutic effect of varying health issues. Over the course of two-thousand years, the Chinese have mapped these points along the meridian systems. By insertion of needles into acupuncture points, Dr. Kayla Ring regulates and promotes the flow of energy through the body to treat numerous health conditions.
While many in the western world associate Chinese Medicine with Acupuncture, there are many other adjunct therapies that fall under the scope of Chinese Medicine such as cupping and moxibustion. Cupping is the application of glass cups to the skin that adheres through suction. This stimulates circulation which helps to aid the healing process. Moxibustion is a form of herbal medicine. Moxibustion is the application of heat generated by the burning of Mugwort at indicated acupuncture points.
Dr. Kayla Ring assesses your presentation to more accurately diagnose the root of the condition to curate an individualized therapeutic treatment plan for you.
how it works
There is a sophisticated network of meridians in the body, through which energy known as Qi flows. Qi is the substance that creates and controls all physiological and functional activity in the body, therefore, efficient movement of Qi is essential to maintaining health. When a meridian becomes obstructed, the free movement of Qi is disrupted, resulting in pain and the development of disease. Acupuncture restores the natural movement of Qi by opening the meridian pathway.
Conditions Treated
As efficient flow of Qi is vital in recalibrating and maintaining peak health, acupuncture is able to minimize or resolve many symptoms and conditions by restoring and harmonizing the flow of Qi. Acupuncture is recognized by The World Health Organization (WHO) as effective treatment for many conditions from pain to neurological disorders, circulatory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine disorders, dermatological disorders, as well as the common cold and flu.
benefits
While Acupuncture has many benefits including immune system support, better sleep quality, pain relief and management, stress reduction, and an increase in energy - one of the most significant benefits is balancing the nervous system. In today’s society, we often operate from our sympathetic nervous system (Fight or Flight) when we should be more consistently operating from our parasympathetic nervous system (Rest and Digest). Acupuncture helps patient’s access this state of being more consistently.
