Acupuncture is a medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat and prevent illness for over 2000 years. It is thought to have originated in China and has its roots in ancient Taoist traditions. At HAC we combine this ancient tradition with current day research and scientific understanding of how Acupuncture effects the body. Modern Acupuncture is performed by inserting fine needles into specific points along the body that has been shown to locally relieve pain, relieve muscle tension, move fascia and globally effect how the brain both functions and interprets bodily signals.

Telehealth is an ideal way to continue care either with virtual acupuncture, prescribed herbal medicines, nutritional / lifestyle advice and more. We can discuss what best ways to be pro-active with this possible down time to achieve your goals.

Q&A

1. How can Telemedicine be helpful if I can’t get acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a great tool we have as you know. In unprecedented times where we can’t provide you with regular in-person acupuncture, Practitioners of Oriental Medicine (L.OM) can lean more heavily on the other branches of medicine in the field such as custom herbal formulas, nutrition recommendations, and guided acupressure to name a few options. This way we can continue to support you and your overall health.

2. What’s Virtual Acupuncture

After scheduling, we’ll reach out with payment instructions and instructions on pick up or delivery of stick on mini acupuncture needles. During the video chat appointment, we’ll do a normal, short consult and then I can guide you as to how and where to apply the stickers. It’s super easy and the stickers are barely perceptible. Then lay down for 25-30 minutes just like you were in the office for a good acu-nap!

3. What are Fertility Navigation Teleconsults?

We can discuss what best ways to be pro-active with this possible down time, as well as discuss the latest information on getting pregnant and delivering right now. Includes advice for custom herbal formulas, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes to keep you moving in the right direction towards conception.
