Kesselman Acupuncutre: San Diego Acupuncture

The aim is not only to eliminate or alleviate symptoms but to treat the underlying cause and improve the quality of life

·What is Acupuncture?

The theory and practice of acupuncture is based on Asian medicine (also know as traditional Chinese or Oriental medicine), a comprehensive natural health care system that has been used in Asian countries for thousands of years to preserve health and diagnose, treat, and prevent illness. We've brought this practice to San Diego.

·How does it work?

Acupuncture treats health conditions by stimulating "acupoints" found at specific locations on the surface of the body. Acupunctionists treat health conditions by inserting very thing needles through the skin to produce physiological effects. Stimulation of the appropriate acu-points through acupuncture treatments helps to restore suffcient, continuous, and even flow of Qi (vital energy) and other nutrients throughout the body, restoring health and balance to the body while relieving pain and other symptoms.

·Are There Additional Treatment Procedures?

Often other techniques may be used during a treatment at the discretion of the acupuncturist. These include moxibustion (burning herbs to heat acu-points), cupping (suction), auricular therapy (ear acupuncture), tui na (Asian massage), and acupressure. This is what makes our San Diego Acupuncture unique!

·What is the Aim of Acupuncture Treatment?

The acupuncturist uses a sophisticated and complex system of diagnostic methods that take into consideration the person as a whole, discerning the body's pattern of disharmony rather than isolated symptoms. The aim is not to only eliminate or alleviate symptoms, but more importantly to treat the underlying cause increase the ability to function, and improve the quality of life.
