Treatment that Feels Good
Brightwaters Acupuncture emphasizes relief instead of discomfort. This is an optimistic approach to acupuncture care. "More comfort" is more optimistic than "less pain" yet equally true. This approach shifts the perspective from illness to wellness. It reminds the patient of their objective or goal. This type of treatment also demonstrates that acupuncture may bring immediate improvements. Are you ready to feel better than before treatment?
Evidence Based Medicine Approach to Care
Evidence based medicine (EBM) uses current respected research and clinical experience to provide effective care. This allow us to focus on what is best for the patient and what is reliably predictable. My Patient, My Teacher and the Four Gates.
Measurements are an important part (EBM). Before (evaluation) and after (re-evaluation) treatment measurements are performed where possible. Very often, measurable changes occur by the end of treatment.
Reach Your Health Goals
Structured or unstructured acupuncture
Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture therapy is structured care. A course of treatment consists of 3 parts- evaluation, multiple treatments and re-evaluation for a single complaint or concern. Individual treatments are intended to work together. Acupuncture therapy is ideal for those who want focused care.
Acupuncture Treatment
Acupuncture treatment is unstructured care. Individual treatment are performed periodically or randomly for the complaint or concern of the moment. These treatments are sometimes considered as "one and done". Single treatments are a convenient option for those who want an impromptu acupuncture treatment.
