 Acupuncture is one of the best known of the entire alternative and complementary therapies in use today. Though it has been in practice for more than 3000 years, there is a growing body of research from Western medicine helping us understands the way acupuncture works in the body. Because of its long history of use, safety and success in treating patients, many people who are seeking improved health and resolution of pain choose it. It is a practice that is based in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and thought to regulate the flow of energy throughout the body. By maintaining normal flow of energy qi (pronounced chee) through channels (meridians) in the body, acupuncture helps prevent illness, treat diseases and improved a person’s overall quality of life. Research in western medicine is demonstrating that stimulation of these specific acupoints creates a reflex in the brain to produce the body’s own pain reduction, immunological and anti-inflammatory substances.
"Acupuncture reduced the side effects of my chemotherapy..."
“I was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and my first chemo treatment was horrible. After that, I started going to Carly Kirby, founder, RN, BSN and Diplomate of Oriental Medicine and Herbology at Timbre, for acupuncture before and after my chemo. The acupuncture and moxa treatments helped my nausea and helped me relax and to actually sleep. The difference between with and without acupuncture during this time was amazing. She also provided nutritional supplements that greatly improved my immune system during this time…Carly’s combination and knowledge of eastern and western medicine was such a valuable resource to me. I trust her direction and am so thankful for her help.”
