What is Acupuncture?
The intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. The method by which this is accomplished, though it may seem strange and mysterious to many, has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be validated today. The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness hinges on concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance." Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy" within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels".
The acupuncturist is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these "meridians". Traditionally these areas or "acupoints" were stimulated by fine, slender needles. Today, many additional forms of stimulation are incorporated, including herbs, electricity, magnets and lasers. Still, the aim remains the same - adjust the "vital energy" so the proper amount reaches the proper place at the proper time. This helps your body heal itself.

AcuPoint Injection Therapy, also known as Biopuncture, is a procedural tool of Oriental Medicine that allows the practitioner to work with the physical, chemical and energetic aspects of healing. As of March 1, 2002 adjunctive therapies to include acupoint injection therapy of herbs, homeopathic and other nutritional supplements by means of hypodermic needles was added to the practice act for Acupuncture Physicians. Since that time the use of Acupuncture Injection therapy has greatly assisted in the promotion, maintenance, restoration and prevention of disease and imbalances of our patients.
Training and certification of this adjunctive therapy is approved by the State of Florida and provides for the safety and health of all patients. The use of herbs, homeopathic solutions and nutritional supplements allow us to treat patients with the same time tested remedies that we usually administer orally with the added benefit of by-passing the digestive enzyme and conjugation of internal organs that mitigate the efficacy of the healing agent.
