Treatments....
Acupuncture treatments are individualized and integrative. They take into account all aspects of a person’s being, inside and out, including lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress, work and relationships.
After
an extensive intake of patient history and symptoms, pulse taking and
observation of the tongue, the acupuncturist devises an individualized
treatment. Acupuncture diagnosis involves understanding the patient’s
individual pattern of disharmony, and then determine the appropriate
point prescription and adjunct therapies to help the body heal itself.
This treatment normally consists of the insertion of about 5-10
(sterilized, single-use, hair-thin) needles. The needle insertion is
normally painless. The patient relaxes for about 30-40 minutes with the
needles in. Patients often fall asleep during this time.
The
patient may receive some lifestyle recommendations. The number of additional treatments depends on the condition and the health of the
patient. Acupuncture is a therapy and can take 3 treatments to feel a
big difference in your condition. The more serious the condition, the
longer it takes to successfully heal.
Stress Rescue Treatments...
Take
time out of your busy life to nurture yourself with a stress rescue
treatment. This 30 minute treatment creates a deep state of relaxation
which can replenish your body’s resources. You will leave the clinic
relaxed, renewed and better prepared to meet the demands of today’s
world.
Facial Rejuvenation...
Dafney
is certified in this modern technique, which improves muscle tone and
dermal contraction, increases collagen production and blood circulation,
and eliminates fine lines, helping you achieve a healthy glow. Cosmetic
Facial Acupuncture works by treating the internal cause of disease and
aging, with special emphasis on rejuvenating and revitalizing the face.
While not a replacement for surgery, it is an excellent alternative
that can take years off one's face – safely and naturally, while improving the patient's overall health.
Needles...
The needles are very fine, sterile, individually packaged and single used.
After the treatment they are disposed of in a bio-hazard container, not to be used again.
