The Family Healing Center offers a number of acupuncture techniques that often
become an integral part of an individual’s specific treatments. Here are a few with
a brief description of each: (What is acupuncture?)
 Traditional Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based upon
the belief that living beings have a vital energy called
Qi pronounced “chee.” Qi circulates in twelve energy
lines mapped out on the body called meridians. Theory
states that an imbalance in the flow of Qi through the
meridians is the cause of pain and disease. Acupuncture
encourages natural healing by applying very fine
needles to specific points on the body. This natural
treatment balances the flow of Qi through the meridians,
maintains health and promotes wellness.
Electro Acupuncture
Electro acupuncture uses
very fine sterile needles attached to a micro or
milliampere source that delivers continuous electric
pulses adjusted for the condition being treated.
Laser Acupuncture
Laser acupuncture focuses
beams of light from a laser tube onto an acupuncture
point, stimulating it similar to the way acupuncture
needles do. This “Cold Laser” acupuncture is primarily
used for an analgesic effect, the stimulation of
acupuncture points in a therapeutic program and
facial rejuvenation.
Auricular Acupuncture
This acupuncture treatment places needles at specific
points of the outer ear to stimulate the central and parasympathetic nervous
system. It is used primarily for treating drug, alcohol, smoking and food addictions.
Auricular acupuncture can also be utilized as a supportive treatment for
general wellness care.
Acupuncture Point Injections
This technique uses injections of natural
substances to stimulate acupuncture points on a deeper level and has proven
effective for resolution of acute and chronic back, knee, shoulder and neck pain. For more information on Acupuncture Point Injection page, click here >>>
Acupuncture Accreditation
With more than 20 million people nationwide— approximately one out of every 10 adults — receiving
some form of acupuncture, accreditation standards
for practitioners are very high. Earning a degree in
Oriental Medicine requires 5 academic years of
rigorous training as mandated by the ACAOM and
the NCCAOM. Christina Captain’s training at the East
West College of Natural Medicine meets and exceeds
the standards set by the State of Florida for licensing.
After completing didactic and clinical coursework,
a national board examination must be passed and
malpractice insurance obtained before a license will
be issued. Chapter 457 of the Florida code describes
acupuncture physicians as primary care practitioners
who are authorized to order and utilize laboratory
testing. Acupuncture physicians are regulated under
the same federal laws and rules stated in the
healthcare privacy act.
