About Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of Qi (Energy) and Xue (Blood) through distinct meridians or pathways that cover the body somewhat like nerves and blood vessels do. According to ancient theory, acupuncture allows Qi to flow to areas where it is deficient and away from areas where it is in excess. In this way acupuncture regulates and restores the harmonious energetic balance of the body. In Chinese there is a saying, “there is no pain if there is a free flow of Qi: if there is pain, there is no free flow”.

Does acupuncture hurt?
Your practitioner uses individually packaged sterilized needles and inserts each needle at a specific depth depending on point selection and body constitution. If your practitioner has obtained the correct stimulus the patient should feel some heaviness, distension, tingling, or electric sensation either around the needle or up or down the affected meridian.

How many treatments will I need?
That depends upon the duration, severity, and nature of your complaint. You may need only a single treatment for an acute condition. A series of five to fifteen treatments may resolve chronic conditions. Some degenerative conditions may require more.

What can it help?
Acupuncture is effective in treating a wide variety of conditions that affects many systems including: neurological, emotional, physiological, musculoskeletal, digestive, circulatory, and respiratory alignments. Some of these treatable conditions include but are not limited to:

Neurological: headache, migraine, neuralgia, post-operation pain, stroke residuals

Digestive: abdominal pain, hyperactivity, chronic diarrhea, indigestion, acid reflux, nausea

Other: sinusitis, tonsillitis, asthma, PMS, stress reduction, blood pressure, common cold, bronchitis, impotence, menopause, immune system

Five-Element Acupuncture
Five-Element acupuncture started with the observation of characteristics and interactions in nature. These same characteristics and dynamics are a part of every human being. Nature has shown us time and again how important and essential that balance is in our biosphere. If this balance is disturbed for only a short time negative reaction can occur. If balance is disturbed for long periods then the impact can be severe. This balance is the same within our internal system as well.

The five-elements is a sophisticated system that acts as a diagnostic map and helps lead us to the root or source of all problems in our life based on individual disharmony. This system allows us to move beyond the parameters of conventional medicine and reach into the depths of the very essence of any imbalance whether it is physiological or psychological based. This integral map can help prevent problems or treat less severe and chronic problems. Depending on the goal of the client, it can even help us to transform our lives.

Heayoon Park, L.Ac.

Heayoon Park studied pharmaceuticals and received her pharmacist license in Korea.

After suffering from a sprained ankle, Heayoon was surprised to find that she only experienced significant relief with a specific way of acupuncture.
Her ankle never responded to the western medicine and general acupuncture. This astonishment led her to study the very specific skill of acupuncture in Korea.

This Korean acupuncture is based on a micro-system theory - each body mass on us i.e. hands, abdomen, ears, and legs etc. contains the whole body image.

Somewhat similar idea to reflexology, but this micro-system acupuncture is combined with oriental medicine and structural understanding of osteopathy.
Heayoon believes it could be a breakthrough for many incurable conditions.

Heayoon received her Masters at the Colorado School of Chinese Medicine. The program enabled her to integrate her micro-system-based acupuncture into American clinical situations, eventually succeeded to reach more than 80% symptom relief among 10 patient out of 11 with pain on the very first visits.

Heayoon travels to Korea in order to stay updated on the fast developing medicine in the country. Herbal prescriptions have always been a passion of Heayoon's. As a licensed pharmacist, Heayoon pursues reliable correlations between herbal prescriptions and symptoms.

However, the total number of Chinese herbal prescriptions transmitted to the current generation is overwhelming. For example, Pu Ji Fang, a medical book written in Ming dynasty contains 61,739 formulas. It can be difficult to find reliable method to connect a formula with symptoms. In order for Heayoon to be confident in choosing the exact formula for certain conditions, she explored the Japanese understanding of the 220 Classic Formulas. This system is a well-established functionality of individual herbs and involves a systematic approach in choosing final formula.

Heayoon has worked with one of the biggest herbalist associations in Korea, with over 2,500 oriental medical doctors and co-workers.
Heayoon specializes in the following difficult conditions that western medicine can give only symptom relief, not permanent improvement.
- auto accident, complicated injuries, burns(chemical & heat)
- cancer treatment complications, functional damages from surgeries, neuropathy, lymphatic edema
- hypertension, stroke and its complications, diabetes mellitus & its complications
- Crohn's disease, chronic GI, ulcers, pancreatitis
- fibromyalgia, uterine myoma, polycystic ovarian syndrome, urinary incontinence, low bone density
- complications of spinal injury and surgery
- chronic shingle pain, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Guillan Barre syndrome, seizure
- asthma, depression, anxiety / rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative arthritis,
- prostate problems, male/female infertility, habitual miscarriage
- phantom limbs, trigger fingers, plantar fasciitis, sciatic pain
- chronic acne
- low performances after sports injuries, rotator cuffs damage, tennis elbow, metacarpal tunnel syndrome
