Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe, painless, and effective form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for as many as 5,000 years. Hair-thin needles are applied to specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system to release certain chemicals in the brain. Acupuncture involves placing these single-use stainless steel needles beneath the skin to stimulate the body's 14 major meridians (energy carrying channels) which promotes a therapeutic effect by increasing energy in the region of that meridian. This holistic system holds that the meridian pathways where the acupuncture points lie are not just connected to the area where they are located, but also relate to the internal organs of the body. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, promotes physical and emotional well-being, and helps the body to resist or overcome illnesses and pain by correcting imbalances.
Acupuncture services are widely used in the hospital and outpatient settings as an integral part of effective integrative medicine. Found at Abington Memorial Hospital, Sloan Kettering Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, and Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, to name only a few, integrative therapies provide patients with mind-body-spirit holistic care. At Wagner Integrative Therapies, we believe that acupuncture can be vitally important in the recovery of our patients.
Acupuncture at WIT
Jean-Paul Rouzier is a gifted, intuitive acupuncture therapist, and an important part of the Integrative Therapies’ Team at WIT. Our other therapists, and area physicians, often refer patients with difficult and persistent problems to JP for acupuncture. However, JP successfully treats patients for a variety of conditions unrelated to pain as well.
Acupuncture patients often require a series of six to 10 treatments to experience benefits for specific conditions. Acupuncture sessions typically last between 20 to 30 minutes, and sometimes longer, depending on the complexity or variety of conditions being treated. Most people who receive acupuncture feel minimal or no pain from the needles. Some people feel more relaxed following a treatment, and others may feel more energized. The improved energy and balance stimulate the body's natural healing abilities, relieve many physical ailments, and assist with lifestyle issues such as smoking cessation and weight loss.
