Acupuncture

Japanese Style Acupuncture

The Japanese styles emphasize a high level of practioner skill, including palpatory (touching) and pulse evaluation, resulting in comfort for the patient and rapid response by the body and fortified immunity. Chronic conditions, inflammations and multiple muscular pain resolve are typical examples of conditions that improve with acupuncture at Rosanne's clinic.

Most currently Rosanne is using a state–of–the–art, non–insertive needling technique. A hair–like dull stainless steel needle is simply positioned at the skin's surface. Here, she engages the body's healing and balancing potential. This “core energy”, becomes redefined and solidified thereby available to the body itself to make corrections.This is the hallmark of natural healing; the body can correct itself when stimulated properly. The result is significant improvement of the presenting condition and enhanced immunity.

Additionally, Rosanne’s repetoire of approaches include simple comfortable treatments that employ the gentle insertion of sterile one–time use needles, the use of moxibustion (a classic technique burning an herb on top of the needle warming the surrounding tissues) or electro–acupuncture (the use of a mild electric current to enhance the effect of particular needle locations).

About Acupuncture Developed 3000 years ago by physicians in Oriental medicine who observed both the nature of good health and the pathological flow of Qi in ill-health. These physicians observed and learned to alter the subtle level of Qi that “ceaselessly and continuously circulates” through 14 major surface energy pathways on the body. Dynamic and ever–developing, acupuncture is able to address illness and imbalances that continue to occur over the millenia. Even today the body responds to the applied principles of acupuncture. Treatment supports the body to relieve the pain, correct the imbalance, and strengthen the core energy. Classical acupuncture procedures include the use of manufactured pre–packaged, sterile needles which are medically disposed of after one–time use. The body is stimulated by the painless insertion of these thread–like needles at the surface of the skin.

Treatment Drawing from 27 years of healthcare experience, Rosanne Emanuele uses the following classic methods and procedures of healing for effective and painless treatment. The patient will feel deeply rested, refreshed, and energized.   Acupuncture Moxibustion — referred to as “moxa” a procedure using the herb mugwart/artemesia either at the base of or at the tip of the needle Medical Qi Gong — the passing of healing energy above the body surface Cupping — suction is applied Gua Sha — a dispersive scraping method   Treatments often change according to the individual's progress.

It originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. American practices of acupuncture use medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea and other countries. In the United States, the best–known type involves putting hair–thin, metallic needles in your skin." "Research has shown that acupuncture reduces nausea and vomiting after surgery and chemotherapy. It can also relieve pain. Researchers don’t fully understand how acupuncture works. It might aid the activity of your body's pain–killing chemicals. It also might affect how you release chemicals that regulate blood pressure and flow." — National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine
