It is based on the holistic theory that good health is a product of balance within the body and mind.\u00a0 Traditional Chinese Medicine theory teaches that we all have energy flowing through the body, called Qi, and that any blockage to this flow of energy may eventually manifest as illness.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese Medicine is somewhat unique in that it places great emphasis on the prevention of disease. In ancient China, Chinese doctors were paid to keep their patients well. If the patient fell ill, the payment ceased until the patient got better. This method ensured that practitioners regularly monitored their patient\u2019s health in an effort to keep them well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_half\">\n<p>To this day,\u00a0the\u00a0emphasis on preventive health is still very much a feature of Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medicine also stresses the interaction between the mental, emotional and physical health of the patient, in both diagnosis and treatment of illness.<\/p>\n<p>In Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatment is patient specific.\u00a0 It aims to treat the root cause of the disease as well as symptoms. The various methods used include Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture (including electro-stimulating\u00a0acupuncture), Cupping, Moxibustion, Tuina (Chinese Remedial Massage) and Diet-Therapy. Chinese Medicine has been shown to be effective and safe in the treatment of a wide range of ailments and\u00a0disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container av-av_layout_row-1be9b35a2820a01de3efc7d811a41d10 entry-content-wrapper main_color av-flex-cells  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_layout_row  poh-grid grid-row-not-first  container_wrap sidebar_right'  >\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_cell_one_half-4b125044c309d75b57b3081c60bd40a6\">\n.flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_half-4b125044c309d75b57b3081c60bd40a6{\nvertical-align:middle;\nbackground:url(https:\/\/pointofhealth.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/poh-wood-bg.jpg) 0% 0% no-repeat scroll ;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_half-4b125044c309d75b57b3081c60bd40a6{\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-av_cell_one_half-4b125044c309d75b57b3081c60bd40a6 av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-first ' ><div class='flex_cell_inner'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-6f64ad2c1202a667e07210c1ef282d5c\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-6f64ad2c1202a667e07210c1ef282d5c img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-6f64ad2c1202a667e07210c1ef282d5c .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-6f64ad2c1202a667e07210c1ef282d5c av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-340 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-340 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/pointofhealth.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/poh-services-img_accupuncture.png' alt='Edmonton Acupuncture Services' title='poh-services-img_accupuncture'  height=\"384\" width=\"600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_cell_one_half-b89131f88c95effa93466e424537a31f\">\n.flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_half-b89131f88c95effa93466e424537a31f{\nvertical-align:middle;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_half-b89131f88c95effa93466e424537a31f{\npadding:5% 5% 5% 5% !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-av_cell_one_half-b89131f88c95effa93466e424537a31f av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last ' ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-2bd894dbf2e4bf2c4acf98ce4fbf94aa '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Acupuncture<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-48cc81472ea7326a75466bbb9889f25c\">\n#top .hr.av-av_hr-48cc81472ea7326a75466bbb9889f25c{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-av_hr-48cc81472ea7326a75466bbb9889f25c .hr-inner{\nwidth:150px;\nborder-color:#a89f74;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-48cc81472ea7326a75466bbb9889f25c hr-custom  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-left hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-2bd894dbf2e4bf2c4acf98ce4fbf94aa '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Acupuncture is the primary treatment at Point of Health Ltd, which involves inserting very fine single use disposable needles into the skin at very specific points in the body. These are points on the body where the energy of the body is most concentrated and often near major nerves and arteries of the body. According to Chinese Medicine theory, the Qi or energy flowing through the body does so through specific channels called meridians. Illness, dysfunction or ailment may occur when there is blockage to this flow of energy through the meridians. The aim of acupuncture is to restore function by stimulating the nervous and endocrine system, and unblocking the natural flow of energy within the meridians to restore harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Common sensations felt by patients are tingling, aching, itching, heaviness or nothing at all around the needle point. These sensations are known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as \u2018de qi\u2019, which is the arrival of energy at those locations. The improved energy flow and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture promotes both physical and emotional well- being. This method of treatment is an excellent way to address an array of issues including musculo-skeletal dysfunction, digestive issues, energy levels, medical ailments and even stress related issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0b98b5e01bd3e8de9bf418e2f61873ba\">\n#top
