ACUPUNCTURE:
A method of treatment whereas extremely fine, hair-thin
flexible needles are placed at specific points on the energetic pathways, known
as meridians. When the needles are inserted you may experience a sensation of
tingling or warmth. People are surprised to find that treatments are actually
quite relaxing. 

ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE
A method of treatment where after a needle has been inserted
at a point and the Qi sensation obtained, an electric current is passed through
the needle both to strengthen and alter the nature of stimulation. 
Electro-Acupuncture has certain advantages over ordinary acupuncture.  First, it
can substitute for the time-consuming hand manipulation, thereby freeing the
doctor to treat other patients. Second, the amount of stimulation can be more
objectively measured and regulated by adjusting the current, amplitude and
frequency.  Third, it can, if desired, produce a higher and more continuous
level of stimulation than manual manipulation (an important factor in
acupuncture anesthesia). Finally, it is possible to apply the current through an
electrode on the skin surface without the aid of a needle inserted
subcutaneously. I.E: it can supplement or, to some degree, substitute for needle
puncture.

AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE
The ear is considered a microcosm of the body. Different
points on the ear relate to different body parts.  By stimulating the point on
the ear, the body part is affected.  This is done using needles during a
treatment, in addition to body points. It also can be used with `tacks' (smaller
needles or pressure stimulants such as ball bearings or seeds) attached to the
points and left in for a couple of days. The latter is done so the patient can
keep stimulating the point as needed when not being treated by the doctor.

HAND ACUPUNCTURE
A Korean technique wherein the hand is considered a microcosm
of the body. Different points on the hand relate to the meridians in the body.
If a particular part of the body cannot be stimulated because of bruising or
open wounds this technique along with ear acupuncture can be utilized to aid in
healing. It can also be used in conjunction with regular Acupuncture
treatments. 

ION PUMPING CHORDS
Wires that allow a one way directional movement of Ions. This
device was created to relieve excesses in certain areas of the body and transfer
that excess to a more deficient area. After diagnosing which areas need to be
treated through abdominal palpation, the doctor superficially needles points on
the body, and connects the Ion chords to those points. An immediate response is
noticeable through abdominal palpation showing relief of symptoms.

ACUPRESSURE
A method of treatment similar to Acupuncture, however,
instead of inserting needles, only pressure is applied to the points using
fingers, or tapered instruments.

MOXIBUSTION
A method of treatment whereby Artemisia is burned on or above
the skin at acupuncture points.  The heat warms the Qi and Blood in the channels
and is therefore useful in the treatment of disease and maintenance of health. 
Sometimes Moxibustion is more effective then acupuncture, whereas at other times
the two have a synergistic effect.
