Acupuncture in Richmond, VA
Empirical Acupuncture
Empirical Acupuncture (EA) is a style of acupuncture that is uniquely effective at comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. As an acupuncture system, it is distinct from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in that diagnosis and treatment are driven by palpation and the effects are near instantaneous. While it is very effective at “pain management,” it moves beyond “managing pain” to discerning the relationship between patterns of pain and the loss of integration within the body
Pain, Trauma and Acupuncture
Addressing chronic pain in the body is essential to charting a better future for people suffering from PTSD. Even with the most technically advanced imaging, we often can’t explain pain’s root cause, or its transient nature. Much like the symptomatic presentation of PTSD, it’s involuntary and can be unpredictable; at the same time, it also can trigger PTSD to surface in a person. In so many people, chronic pain and PTSD are intimately connected because both conditions reflect a loss of integration in the body—when either is present, the body is not operating as designed. The body is designed to heal, adapt and thrive and the most effective therapeutic interventions directly upgrade the body’s ability to do just that.
