Salin Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Salin Acupuncture focuses on holistic health care, a form of healing that considers the person, body, mind, spirit and emotions in the quest for optimal health and wellness. In TCM theory, the human body is an organic whole. When any part of it works improperly, imbalance occurs and the person will get sick. Salin Acupuncture treats symptoms but also looks for underlying causes of these symptoms. We spend time on each patient, trying to investigate the underlying causes. We treat the symptoms from the root cause, so symptoms do not return. We “Remove the weeds from the root” so they will not grow back! One example of treating disorder as a whole: When a person is suffering from migraine headaches, instead of giving him or her Tylenol, we will take some time to find all the factors that may be causing the person’s headaches, such as other health problems, diet, sleep habits, stress and personal problems. After treatments, patients will understand their conditions from both the Western and Eastern medical perspectives. Patients will not feel rushed. Each treatment may take between 60 to 90 minutes, and treatments are covered by most extended health plans. At the end of the day, we work together with the patient to improve their conditions. We will also recommend changes to lifestyle, diet and exercise. Patients will see long term health benefits from the acupuncture treatments.
