ACUPUNCTURE

 “So neither ought you to attempt to cure the body without the soul. For part can never be well unless the whole is well” Plato

 

 

Acupuncture is recognized with Dutch Health Insurance if you have a supplemental package

Acupuncture - How does it work? Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural self-healing mechanisms by targeting specific points along the meridians, which are energy pathways that regulate bodily functions. When fine needles are inserted into these points, they send signals to the nervous system, triggering the release of neurotransmitters, endorphins, and hormones that reduce pain, inflammation, and stress. This process enhances blood circulation, boosts immune function, and restores balance to organ systems. By improving energy flow (Qi) and promoting relaxation, acupuncture helps the body heal itself more efficiently, addressing physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

 

 Acupuncture focuses on balancing the flow of chi energy through the body's meridian channels. This method uses  disposable, thin needle placements on key acupuncture points to restore harmony & balance, relieve pain , enhance the body's natural healing process and promote overall well-being.  

 

Your healing journey starts with an initial intake to address your health concerns while gathering the information needed to customize your acupuncture session.

 

Assessment before treatment may include abdominal palpation, palpation to specific muscular areas, observation of features including the tongue, and pulse analysis, ensuring a thorough evaluation.

Frequency of treatments

 

While acupuncture may provide noticeable results quickly for some, however, it is not commonly known as a quick fix.

Everyone responds differently to acupuncture depending on age, constitution, sensitivity, the condition itself,  length of time of the complaint whether it is an  acute or a chronic conditon. 

A certain consistency is required.

A treatment plan depending on condition is generally advised to assess progress and to aim for optimal results.
