• About Tracy Andersen LAc

  Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. The basis of Acupuncture is the theory that the body has an energy force running throughout it known as Qi (pronounced chee). Qi travels throughout the body similarly to nerves and blood vessels but along special pathways referred to as "meridians". These pathways can become obstructed, deficient, or excessive. This creates an irregular energy flow in the body, causing illness. Acupuncture treatment is carried out by inserting fine needles into the skin at specific points along these meridians. The effect of the needles is to restore the balance of the patients’ energy, thereby improving health by increasing the bodies’ ability to heal itself.Each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel nothing or only a minimal amount of sensation as the needles are inserted. Once the needles are in mostof our patients tell us that they experience a feeling of relaxation and well-being that lasts for many days after the treatment. They find the treatments to be rejuvenating,often falling into a deep state of relaxation and leave feeling refreshed. At first, most people are surprised at the deep level of relaxation results. People often respond with “I am more relaxed than I have ever been,” or “I got to a level of relaxation that I did not know was ossible,” “I feel like I just had a two hour massage” or “Wow, I did not know this was so relaxing” and even “Can I do this everyday?”
