Under the guidance of Dr. Elise Weiss and our team of skilled practitioners, we provide acupuncture treatments designed to address a wide range of physical and emotional conditions, enhancing your overall wellness.

Understanding Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is based on the concept of qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital life force that flows through the body along pathways known as meridians. According to TCM, imbalances or blockages in the flow of qi can lead to various symptoms and health issues. By strategically placing thin needles along specific points on the meridians, acupuncture aims to restore the normal flow of qi, thereby resolving these imbalances and alleviating symptoms.

The History of Acupuncture

Acupuncture has a rich history that spans over 2,000 years. Originating in ancient China, it has been practiced for millennia and has evolved through various dynasties and cultural influences. The earliest records of acupuncture can be traced back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), where it was documented in classic medical texts such as the “Huangdi Neijing” (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine). Over time, acupuncture spread to other parts of Asia, including Japan and Korea, and eventually to the Western world.

In the modern era, acupuncture has gained widespread acceptance and recognition as an effective therapeutic modality. It is now practiced globally and is integrated into various healthcare systems. Research and clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in treating a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to infertility and emotional disorders.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is known for its ability to address a variety of health issues, both physical and emotional. It is commonly used to treat:

• Pain Relief: Effective for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, migraines, and back pain.
• Stress and Anxiety: Helps reduce stress levels and improve emotional well-being.
• Infertility: Supports reproductive health and can enhance fertility treatments.
• Digestive Issues: Aids in alleviating symptoms of digestive disorders like IBS and acid reflux.
• Sleep Disorders: Promotes better sleep and treats insomnia.
• Overall Wellness: Enhances immune function, improves circulation, and promotes general health.

Acupuncture is generally not painful. Most patients experience a sensation of mild tingling or warmth at the needle insertion points. The treatment can be combined with other modalities, such as moxibustion (burning a therapeutic herb near the skin), cupping (using suction cups on the skin), and electro-acupuncture (applying a small electrical current to the needles), to enhance its effectiveness.

A Message from Dr. Elise Weiss

“When I started my medical practice, the primary focus was illness and injury; intervening at the destination rather than along the journey. In time, the fault in my thinking became clear, and my approach changed from reactive to proactive; with a focus on wellness rather than illness. Weiss Wellness was the natural progression of my thoughts on health and wellness.

Weiss Beauty is once again a response to observations in my own life and a desire to maintain the health of my skin and body. With this in mind, we now offer natural methods that stimulate your body’s own reparative pathways to fight the signs of aging.”
