Traditional Chinese Medicine

Oak Haven Massage offers comprehensive wellness support, including our newest offer- ing, Acupuncture for Body, Mind, and Spir- it. This modality is developed from ancient Chinese medicine traditions with a broad range of applications, from healing sickness and injury, to preventing the onset of disease and helping you achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional balance. Acupuncture can be used as a stand alone therapy, or can be a complement to your massage regimen.

In a typical treatment, you and your acu- puncturist will discuss your concerns and goals, and create a treatment plan. Many times, immediate benefit will be experi- enced after just a single treatment. For many conditions a series of treatments are recom- mended to ensure continued guidance on healing and growing. This will be discussed at your first treatment.
An acupuncture treatment is usually as relaxing as a massage. Your entire task while receiving a treatment is to let go of outside worries and cultivate a presence and aware- ness of your body at that moment.

Acupuncture is Safe and Effective

All treatments are conducted according to strict 'clean needle techniques' and standards. All needles used are sterile single use stainless steel medical grade acupuncture needles which are disposed of immediately after use in a bio- medical waste 'sharps' container. Strict safety protocols are followed to ensure that your treatment is safe.

The World Health Organization has suggested that acupuncture is effective and appropri- ate for the treatment of many conditions. The American National Institutes of Health convened a consensus panel of scientists, researchers, and practitioners who concluded that research supports the effectiveness of acupuncture for some conditions and that it is useful by itself or combined with conventional therapies to treat many other conditions.
