A style of treatment that does not only treat a patient’s symptomatic complaints, holistic acupuncture, more importantly, aims to seek balance throughout the entire body system to achieve normal function and/or homeostasis. This Chinese form of therapy does not separate the mental and emotional aspects from the physical aspects of a patient’s being. All parts of the human body are considered closely intertwined to each other generating one’s current state of health. A holistic approach is important in that it addresses the underlying roots of a health problem that then results in your current state of health. Its aim is to provide the body the resources it needs to heal by rectifying imbalance in the body. By merely resolving the symptomatic complaints, the symptoms will never go away. It will just keep on recurring which then usually leads to chronic health problems.

A qualified and accredited acupuncturist in Cleveland trained in palpatory diagnostic procedures can easily locate and identify constitutional imbalances. Through exhaustive examination, he/she can determine whether or not an imbalance exists that’s associated with the structural alignment, glands, organs, or the meridian system of the body. This unique traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic protocol exploits modern medical knowledge combined with traditional knowledge.

Stress can be revealed in different parts of the body while it is still in the sub-clinical stage using this type of diagnosis. Reflexes for various glands or organs can become hyperactive or underactive when they are stressed prior to a detection of a clinical pathology through lab work. Holistic acupuncture can provide vital preventative care by resolving imbalances before they evolve into the clinical stage. The treatment also provides excellent care for patients with chronic conditions.

A form of preventive healthcare that can address both chronic and acute conditions, holistic acupuncture also tends to treat first the person and second, the symptoms. Both, however, are always addressed in every treatment. When acupuncturists target the underlying imbalances that are at the core of the problem, the treatment of the symptoms is extremely boosted. In holistic acupuncture, each patient receives a treatment that is completely unique and designed just for the treatment of his symptoms and his constitution even if the condition is the same as other patients.
