Every illness tells a story.
Every ache and pain expresses a set of beliefs, and no injury exists without its genesis.
Chinese Medicine embraces the continuum that is body, mind and spirit, so it's understood that emotions and thoughts influence our health and come to fruition in our physical form.
The classical medical texts assert that the heart, which houses the spirit and mind (the Shen), is the Emperor.
Therefore it is said that, all disease begins with the Heart.
But beyond treating symptoms, Rivertown Acupuncture creates the healing space for you to uncover that which has pulled you into disharmony, and to rewrite your story.

Several styles of acupuncture are practiced at Rivertown Acupuncture.
Each has its strengths, and I may utilize one or a combination, depending upon your diagnosis and presentation.
Acupuncture Physical Medicine with dry needling is a meridian or channel based system that incorporates Western physical medicine techniques.
Diagnosis relies primarily upon palpation of the channels and, where muscular-skeletal pain presents, palpation of musculature to detect and locate any myofascial constrictions.

Rivertown Acupuncture often employs the use of trigger point needle therapy to alleviate various types of muscle pain.
This is a highly effective and direct type of needling that is based upon the diagnostic system of referred pain and trigger points developed by Janet Travell, M.D. Rather than acupuncture points, the practitioner inserts a needle into muscle trigger points and manually stimulates.
The advantage of trigger point therapy is that it may be the most powerful and quickest way to combat pain.

Rivertown Acupuncture offers Tui Na as an adjunct to the acupuncture treatment, primarily for structural and muscular injuries and conditions.
Tui Na (pinch and pull) is a therapeutic type of deep massage that has been a pillar of Chinese medicine for many centuries.
On the surface it may resemble Swedish massage because some of the techniques include gliding (effleurage), kneading, percussion, friction, pulling, rotation, rocking, vibration, and shaking.
There are similarities to shiatsu, as both utilize the channel energy system and apply acupressure to specific acupuncture points.

The Japanese style known as KM (Kiiko Matsumoto) is characterized by abdominal palpation, the use of reflex zones, shallow needling, and a unique set of tools.
At Rivertown Acupuncture diode rings and diode chains, the pachi-pachi, triple bypass cords and ion cords may be used as part of a KM treatment.
A diode or semiconductor diode is a crystalline electronic component that can direct the body's electric flow in one direction.
By strategically placing a diode ring or a series of diodes in a silver chain (which can be wrapped around a limb), we can direct the body's own energetic current toward healing.
