Welcome to the Acupuncture
Practice of Elyse Provencher. Licensed Acupuncturist serving
Annapolis, MD.
Acupuncture is a powerful system of medicine. Practiced for over 3000
years in China, the benefit of acupuncture treatment is now clearly
recognized and well documented in western medical journals and in
medical institutions across the United States.
Because of its relatively low cost and its noninvasive nature,
acupuncture has become a highly popular form of complementary health
care. In this gentle form of medicine, each treatment is designed
uniquely to address imbalance as it is specifically experienced by each
person. Symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of an
individual in order to explore the underlying cause of an illness or
disease.
Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the
world and is used by one third of the world's population as a primary
health care system. It is likely that more people have been treated by
Chinese medicine throughout history than by any other formalized system
of medicine. There are a growing number of acupuncture patients in the
United States. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed
acupuncture treatment for over 40 conditions, including stress,
digestive disorders, depression, allergies, sleeping disorders,
addictions, headaches and menstrual disorders.
This highly effective system of medical care is based on natural laws
which govern the movement of vital life giving energy, both in nature
and in the body. This energy, called "chi", moves through the body in
precise channels supporting functions of the body, mind and spirit. When
"chi" is moving disharmoniously, imbalance begins to surface in the form
of specific symptoms. To address the underlying cause of a condition,
these symptoms are viewed in relation to the totality of a person. The
gentle insertion of hair thin needles at specific points along the
channels of chi energy, help restore harmony. In the presence of this
subtle yet profound intervention, symptoms often resolve and patients
frequently experience renewed vitality.
