What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a method of healing that has helped millions of people over the course of over 2500 years. It is based on the understanding that the human body is a complex bioelectrical system. This is something that Western science has only recently discovered. Energy, or what is called Chi, circulates to all parts of the body along pathways called meridians. When this movement is blocked or disrupted, pain and illness are the result. Acupuncture rebalances and restores the correct flow of Chi, thereby bringing back health and vitality.
To look at it another way, acupuncture helps the body to heal itself. The human body has a marvelous intrinsic intelligence. If you cut your finger all of the many biological steps that are required to heal the cut happen without you having to direct that process. Acupuncture simply stimulates your body to initiate the healing processes that are already working within it.

What Can I Expect On My First Visit?
Please plan at least an hour for your first visit. Because we make our diagnosis based on a holistic paradigm it is important for us to gather as much information as we can about your medical history. Even details that seem unrelated to the condition that you are seeking treatment for could provide important clues for an accurate diagnosis.
A brief western physical assessment will follow your medical history interview. Finally, your tongue and pulses will be examined . This will provide information about the status of your organ systems. Once we reach a clear diagnosis based on the physical examinations and your medical history interview, you will be given an acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture needles are considerably thinner than the injection needles that you may be more familiar with. In fact, several acupuncture needles can fit into the barrel of an injection needle. There may be a moment of slight discomfort as the needles are inserted, but the sensation is minimal and brief. Like many patients, you may feel extremely relaxed after the needles are placed, and may even fall asleep.
Generally, we will let you relax and let the needles do their work for about 20 minutes. After they are removed you may be given further treatment, depending upon your condition.

Testimonials
"I've been seeing Dr. Chris at Wellness First for my migraines, and they've been a lifesaver. I used to have migraines several times a month, and they would last for days. But since I started acupuncture, I haven't had a migraine in over six months. I'm so grateful for their help."

Tina A., Geneva
"I was so skeptical about acupuncture at first, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. I had been suffering from chronic back pain for years, and nothing else had worked. After just a few sessions of acupuncture, I started to feel a real difference. My pain is now much more manageable, and I'm able to do things I haven't been able to do in years, like hiking and playing golf. I'm so grateful to Wellness First for helping me get my life back."
Pamela E., Aurora
