Welcome to Victoria Allen Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient medicine that has stood the test of time. Why? Simply because it works. Together with diet, exercise, nutrition and herbal medicine, it comprises Traditional East Asian Medicine. It is a safe and natural way for promoting your body to use its natural reserves for healing and prevention, whether the issue is physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual.
At a basic level, it is the insertion of very fine, sterilized needles into specific points on the body located along pathways called meridians. Meridians are often compared to rivers. These rivers carry bioelectric vital life energy or "Qi" (pronounced chee). When meridians become blocked by daily stressors, lifestyle, or injury (among other factors), disease or imbalance occurs. Acupuncture works to unblock these obstructions and aid the body in achieving optimal health and harmony. Your flow of energy is invigorated.
"My intense boxing training began was causing me reoccurring back and shoulder spasms and knots. After months of massage therapy I decided to try acupuncture. I felt great relief within the first two sessions, and my spasms completely stopped within two weeks. I now make acupuncture with Victoria part of my weekly training regime."
