However not only does it reduce or eliminate pain, this analgesic effect is not due to
masking the pain like drugs do, but rather to the healing of the underlying pathology
or trauma.
Among a host of factors, acupuncture affects blood sugar, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, the
function of the gastrointestinal system as well as every other organ system of the body and the
activity of the endocrine system. Acupuncture works with the body by strengthening and
balancing the energy of the body's systems. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal
itself more quickly and more completely.
What Does Acupuncture Feel Like And What Can I Expect?
Acupuncture needles are gently inserted at the specific acu-point locations mentioned above.
Insertion is painless and often followed with a sensation of tingling, distention, radiating electric
like sensations or traveling warmth. Most people are surprised at the depth of relaxation, the
movement of energy they feel in their body and the sense of well-being that occurs from the
re-balancing of energy. Alternatively, for those who would prefer alternative stimulation of the
points we can use micro-current, light or pressure.
After a treatment you may experience relief from symptoms immediately or in the hours after
treatment. For a health issue that has been ongoing for months or years, it may take more than
one treatment before you begin to feel symptom relief depending upon the severity of the
symptoms. Once you experience any improvement in your symptoms that is a sign that the
pattern of dysfunction is beginning to break up. You will find that you will look forward to
treatment for the many benefits that are received from acupuncture. Many people experience
acupuncture as being more relaxing than a massage. Some people fall asleep while on the
treatment table.
Many who have lived with their condition for months or years believe they will just have to
make do. Others live with pain thinking that someday it will go away or take dangerous drugs
to kill the pain. Acupuncture has succeeded in securing healing in many cases where other
treatments have not.
How Effective Is Acupuncture?
According to the results of a recent national study conducted by the National Certification
Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) 1 in 10 US Adults has tried
acupuncture. This means that 20 million American Adults have tried acupuncture. 24% of those
who tried it were extremely satisfied, 24% were very satisfied and 34% were satisfied. Only
8% of those who tried it said they were not at all satisfied. This means that acupuncture has
helped 82% of the people who have tried it. People don't choose to do something over and
over again for thousands of years that doesn't work.
Even more recent research has found acupuncture to be more effective for back and joint pain
than drugs or surgery. Acupuncture is becoming mainstream now.
What Is A First Office Visit Like?
Doctors of Oriental Medicine use a highly developed and sophisticated system of observation
and examination to diagnosis, treat and evaluate the success of treatment. On your first office
visit Dr. Eichenauer will listen carefully to you in a very thorough interview which provides vital
clues to differentiate your pattern, as we call it, which means to determine what imbalances
your symptoms are coming from.
Dr. Eichenauer may feel for subtle variations in the pulse on both wrists to determine a wealth
of information about how the body is functioning. We also listen to the sound of your voice, the
appearance of your tongue and many other factors to determine what is not functioning
optimally in your body. Particular patterns of symptoms and other physical indications lead
directly to treatment principles that determine the choice of the specific acupuncture points to use
and herbs if indicated.
Who Is Qualified To Perform Acupuncture?
Only an Acupuncture Physician with his or her extensive training and refined diagnosis and
treatment skills is qualified to use acupuncture. There are MDs, physical therapists, chiropractors
and nurses who have had a 100 hour seminar on acupuncture meaning that they may have
inserted a needle into themselves and were given a little manual on the insertion of needles into
points based upon cook book prescriptions. In other words they have no clinical training before
performing acupuncture on patients. They lack education and training in OM physiology,
diagnosis, and treatment principles and skills and often the do not even know how to locate the
acupuncture points or needle effectively, not to mention that they have no ability whatsoever to
diagnose and develop the correct treatment principles and point selection, nor do they know
how to needle effectively.
What this means is that if you have ever had acupuncture that didn't work, you probably got it
from someone with inadequate training. A doctor of Oriental Medicine or a Licensed
Acupuncture Physician has more than 2700 hours of class study, twice that number of hours of
outside study and 710 hours of hands on clinical experience treating over 300 different patients
with all kinds of serious health conditions.
I have successfully treated hundreds of patients and continued my studies, in acupuncture
techniques and methods including, Electro Meridian Imaging, laser therapeutic treatment, herbal
formulas and much, much more.

What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a powerful medical diagnostic and healing system based upon
profound understanding of the body's energy systems at a deeper level than
allopathic medicine. Acupuncture and its various healing processes and procedures
promotes healing, strengthens the immune system, prevents disease, controls pain,
and increases both functional ability and the quality of peoples lives. Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine is a well-developed primary health-care system based on natural
energetic laws. Dating back over 3,000 years in written documentation in Chinese
history, the use of acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is widespread in Asia, Europe
and in the U.S.
While the effect of acupuncture is symptom relief, it is much more than this.
Acupuncture has served over the centuries as intervention to re-attune a person to the
dynamic balance of health. Those who receive acupuncture often not only heal
physically, but experience new and profound states of peace, clarity and harmony
through treatment which often has lasting impact.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
As a system of medicine acupuncture uses natural laws, and energetic principles
rooted in the natural world with the application of very thin solid-body, single-use
disposable needles, electricity, light or pressure to specific points on the body. Each
point provides a specific function or set of functions in the body to regulate various
aspects of the body. Acupuncture accesses and balances the energetic systems of the
body. The acupuncturist affects specific points grouped along certain lines of energy
called channels or meridians which run along the surface of the body and then go
deeply inside the body to connect to its pertaining organ. Each organ in the body has
its own meridian or channel. Disease can be prevented or treated by stimulating or
reducing the flow of vital energy called Qi (chi) to get the desired effect.
Pharmaceutical companies create medications that can suppress or stimulate energy
within the body, but often with incredibly harsh side effects because they try to do with
artificially created chemicals what acupuncture does directly and energetically
communicating with the body so that it adjusts its own electro-chemical balance.
Studies indicate that acupuncture influences the central and peripheral nervous system,
as well as the autonomic nervous system. Evidence shows that acupuncture causes the
release of endorphins from the brain which makes acupuncture particularly effective in
pain control.
