Why Use Acupuncture?

At Healing Touch Acupuncture, Chérri Gallison, LPC, LAc, utilizes powerful alternative medicine techniques to strengthen your immune system, prevent disease, control pain, and improve the quality of your life.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is part of a complete medical system which originated in China over 4,000 years ago. When thin, virtually painless needles are inserted, the body's energy is optimized to relieve pain and treat diseases. At Healing Touch Acupuncture, we only use disposable, pre-sterilized needles.

How does it work?
Acupuncture balances "Qi" (pronounced 'chee'), the life-giving force that flows through your body. When you are injured, stressed, overworked, or chronically ill, your Qi will be depleted or blocked. This Qi out of balance causes you pain and disease. So, through the precise insertion of needles and other techniques like cupping, gwa sha, moxa, herbs, and energy work, Chérri assists your Qi to come back into balance, and body, mind, emotions, and spirit move out of pain and begin the healing process.

What does it feel like?
At times, you will feel tingling, warmth, or energy moving out from the needles. Sometimes you will not even know the needles are in place. For most, acupuncture is extremely relaxing. To find out more, see Benefits, Treatment, and Location/Fees.
