ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the foundation of Source Healing. The vital energy that is essential for good health is highly responsive to this natural and effective medical system that is over 2000 years old. It is a disruption in the flow of vital energy that is the origin of disease and disharmony in the body.
WHY SOURCE HEALING FOR ACUPUNCTURE?
At Source Healing, you are truly getting a one of a kind experience.
From the one-on-one consultation to our custom herbal
apothecary, our acupuncturists tailor each treatment to your specific
needs. That's why we offer no "packages" or "programs" at Source Healing.
We believe that you are unique, and therefore come with your own set of
unique disharmonies. As your body begins to shift and change, so will our
treatments. You will embark on a healing path that teaches you how to care
for yourself and live a vibrant, fruitful life. At Source Healing, you're
coming in for the quality service, you're coming in for the personal relationship
you build with your acupuncturist - you're coming in for the care, plain
and simple.
But don't worry, we have qualifications too! Our acupuncturists are all
national board certified by the NCCAOM, licensed by the state of Illinois,
and have Master's Degrees in Oriental Medicine. But beyond our qualifications
and experience, we are a dynamic team of acupuncturists who have a passion
for this healing art and it comes through in the quality of our treatments.
We take the time to be thorough and complete in each session and we do it
with integrity and heart. We also work as a tight group, so if your acupuncturist
is not available at the time you are requesting, another acupuncturist will
be available to give you a great acupuncture treatment. As a modern medicine,
we use only disposable needles.
INITIAL TREATMENT: In the initial treatment, our acupuncture sessions include
a thorough evaluation and intake to determine the Root Diagnosis or Root
Cause of the body's disharmony and manifesting complaints. Based on this
Root Diagnosis, the practitioner will pick points in the body to balance
out and harmonize this root disharmony. Because this is a full service treatment,
the practitioner will also recommend oriental food therapy as well as other
suggestions to assist in the maintenance of the body's harmony.
FOLLOWING VISITS: In the following visits, the practitioner will assess
where you are in your progress, make tailored adjustments to your treatments
as you continue to progress. Within the first 5 visits, your practitioner
will determine the course of treatments based on your response.

SPORTS ACUPUNCTURE:
This acupuncture focuses on acute and chronic musculo-skeletal pain and
injuries that are common to athletes. Instead of coming in for an overall
body treatment, clients can come in for quick half hour sessions to treat
specific ailments they might be experiencing from exercise, a sports injury,
or even muscle strain. The acupuncture needles are inserted along the meridian
points where the pain is concentrated. Clients typically experience relief
after two to three treatments.
