Acupuncture
Japanese Acupuncture is based in the same ancient science and philosophy as Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. However, this method uses thinner needles and a more superficial and gentle insertion method than modern Chinese Acupuncture. The needles are shallowly inserted in areas where the circulation of energy and blood needs to be improved.
In a modern medicine perspective: Acupuncture promotes a Biochemical Defence Mechanism, meaning the insertion of the needle is considered by the body to be a stimulus site, affecting a chemical release needed for cellular and tissue repair as well as an electromagnetic response that allows a neurologic reaction to take place. The result of the effects of acupuncture on the body is a phenomenon that can be seen on an MRI and in PET scans.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.
The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.
