Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment modality within East Asian Medicine, a complete medical system proven to restore the homeostatic mechanisms within the body. Alison practices a gentle, Japanese acupuncture style that inserts thin, stainless steel needles into select locations on the skin to promote optimal organ function. Every acupuncture treatment is uniquely customized to you through a series of touch reflexes that provide precise diagnostics. Often, fine tools made of copper, silver, brass or gold are used to vibrate, brush or tap points and meridians. This targeted approach allows you to feel noticeably better following treatment.

Other therapies that may be utilized include:

Sotai Therapy

A form of Japanese physical therapy combining breath and movement to address functional and structural imbalances in the body.

Craniosacral Therapy

Manual European osteopathic techniques involve soft manipulations of the cranial bones and sacroiliac joint to restore the flow of cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the pelvic region. This treats the central nervous system and effectively reduces pain.

Neuro Emotional Technique

A mind body stress technique that combines muscle testing with the meridian system of the body to identify the root emotional cause of a physiological disease and alleviate stress responses.

Flower Essence Therapy

Flower essences are liquid infusions made of flower blossoms, trees, and minerals, to restore mental-emotional wellness and create new habits of thought.

FAQ

How to prepare for my first appointment?

If you are an established patient of Dr. Della Parker, please arrive to your first appointment ten minutes early to complete a brief acupuncture intake.

If you are new to Stellar Health & Wellness, please take the time to fill out the New Patient Paperwork prior to your appointment.

Come to your appointment well hydrated. Drink 1 to 2 quarts of water in the 2 to 3 hours prior to your session.

How long will it take to experience evident results?

Acupuncture initiates change immediately. Alison will muscle test for the timing of treatment. Generally, a full course of treatment is considered 7 sessions total, depending on the chronicity of illness. She will likely want to see you weekly for one month (4 treatments), biweekly for one month (2 treatments), and then monthly (1 treatment).

Following this initial course, your body will learn to hold a treatment longer and can transition into maintenance and preventative care.
