Laser acupuncture utilizes low energy laser light in place of traditional acupuncture needles to influence the flow of energy and blood at the acupuncture points.  Beyond conventional medicine, this is a proven effective treatment for many health challenges such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis/golfers elbow, arthritis and pain.  It is especially useful for children and people with a fear of needles.
We have in depth knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine with a clear understanding of how the acupuncture points function to stimulate bio-chemical change in the body.  Class 3 and 4 lasers can be used safely and effectively by a licensed practitioner of Chinese medicine.  The procedure is completely painless and will not burn or heat tissues.

Sticking to your New Year’s Resolution: The Trick is Not What You Think

By admin | Published January 20, 2014

new-years-resolution-1_lIt’s New Year’s again.  It’s time to make a resolution.

And you know the drill. You set goals.  You work on them for a couple of weeks.  You begin to flag.

If each year you make a resolution and each year you break it, something has to change.  The only way this year can be different is if you do something different.

It has been a popular myth that people prefer right-brained or left-brained activities because they have a dominant side of the brain.  It turns out that while certain activities are wired on one side of the brain (for example language tends to be on the left), people use each side of the brain equally.

You come home with the kids and all you want to do is snuggle on the couch.

Snuggling in winter may be fun (and I’m not going to say you shouldn’t snuggle) but your kids need something more.  In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), kids need at least 1 hour of physical activity—every day.  And depending on your children’s school program and sports activities, they may not even get close.

There are many benefits.  Exercise helps kids feel less stressed, have higher self-esteem, focus at school, sleep better and maintain a healthy weight.  You’ve probably noticed that parenting children who get enough exercise is also easier than parenting those who don’t.
