Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic system developed over thousands of years in asia. Acupuncture is used effectively to treat many diseases and support the body in almost every culture around the world.
We do not know exactly how acupuncture treatments work but acupuncture is believed to stimulate the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the meridian channels of the body.
The smooth and proper flow of energy/Qi in the body is important much like the flow of water is important to the health of a river.
Imagine if the flow of a river is interrupted. New nutrients will not arrive from upstream and wastes will not be sent downstream for elimination.
When the flow of energy/Qi becomes stagnant the body begins to suffer from pathologies that cause symptoms.
Acupuncture is a wonderful treatment to support the organs of the body, to improve the delivery of nutrients throughout the body, and to increase detoxification.
There are many different schools of thought when it comes to the application of acupuncture. Dr. Barlow combines several of these methodologies into a holistic approach to treatment with acupuncture.
Dr. Barlow often uses acupuncture in combination with other methods of treatment like nutritional supplementation, dietary counselling, spinal assessment and manipulation, botanical medicine, and other injection techniques.
