Faster recovery from injuries!

has been used throughout the world for and to speed healing. This has always been a strong point of all styles of acupuncture. It works amazingly well to speed recovery from injuries, especially acute injuries. Classical True Acupuncture takes it a step further, going beyond just the pure symptoms of the injury, and looks into the underlying weakness and disharmonies that allow the injury to occur in the first place (the “root”). By correcting these disharmonies and treating the injury as a “branch,” we get amazingly fast results with injuries, both chronic and acute.

For example, say you fracture a bone in your foot. Most acupuncturists may insert needles in your foot (local treatment) and your hand/wrists (distal treatment) to encourage local circulation to improve healing and reduce pain. This is a great start, but we can’t just stop there. With Classical True Acupuncture, we want to re-balance your root constitutional imbalance so that your whole body can support the healing of your foot. This approach provides much faster healing and recovery than just treating “the problem” area alone.

Patients are amazed at how quickly the pain disappears when a needle is inserted. Literally within minutes, the pain is gone or greatly decreased and recovery time from the injury is drastically reduced. New patients often can’t believe that it is even possible to heal as quickly as they do. What would normally sideline someone for a week or two is cleared up in a day or two—that’s speed healing!

Only by combining a true root treatment, that can only take place by a Classical True Acupuncturist who knows how to read each and every system’s imbalances via the radial pulses, and a branch treatment for the acute pain, can such amazing recoveries from injuries take place.

If you have an injury, chronic or acute, don’t be sidelined! Come in, get it treated and get back on track now!

Increased strength & endurance with acupuncture!

In his research with True Acupuncture, George Soulie de Morant discovered that , when used according to the theories, could increase overall strength by approximately 25%!

That’s an amazing increase in strength! 25%! How many therapies, supplements, or other modalities can give those kind of results safely? None that we know of. (And if supplements/herbs are used incorrectly and not according to your constitution, they can cause more long-term harm than good.) Morant proved this in a clinical setting and we have seen the results for ourselves.

Charles Strodtbeck, L.Ac. notices dramatic increases in his own workouts when he has proper Classical True Acupuncture treatments. Not only is his strength increased, but he has greater endurance as well. With regular treatments, usually only monthly, Charles has seen significant improvement in both strength and endurance during his workouts.

It only makes sense! If your systems are well harmonized, they will respond to the stresses of life in a more efficient manner. Re-harmonizing your systems cannot be done with “lower levels” (according to Morant) of acupuncture. It must be done through an in-depth study of your radial pulses to find even the slightest disharmonies in order to re-establish your natural homeostatic balance.

Once this has been done, you will notice significant increase in strength and endurance during your training! No drug will give you these results and this is completely safe, natural and legal. Furthermore, once your systems are back to their natural homeostatic balance, we can stimulate and increase certain energetic systems and functions to push your endurance and strength to even higher levels.

Come on in and try it for yourself. You will notice the difference after one treatment!

Sports & Nutrition

Athletes and active individuals need great nutrition! But not nutrition built around unfounded theories, beliefs, or symptomatology. Marketing campaigns try to convince us about all the health benefits of every new product, but solid research into most of these trends shows no benefit, and more often, a decrease in nutritional value.

Charles noticed many of these “fads” while at . People were willing to believe anything if it jived with their nutritional beliefs; however, good research does not support most of the current ideas about nutrition. In fact, much of the research supports the opposite to what we’ve been told by popular media.

Lets take one example, shall we?

Supplements! They have become the fad of the day and athletes are told they need to take them. However, did you know that most supplements are synthetic? Yes, even the “all natural” ones are often completely synthetic.

Your body doesn’t know what to do with these supplements, thus your urine turns bright yellow within an hour of consumption. Why? Your body is simply trying to get rid of these synthetic components as quickly as it possibly can. We’ve heard all kinds of false rationalizations for this effect, such as, “Your body is removing all the toxic substances now that it has proper nutrition.” Hmm . . . an interesting attempt at an explanation, but then, why doesn’t my urine turn bright yellow when I drink 48 ounces of fresh raw vegetable juice? Which, by the way, has much more vitamins than any pill. The answer is simple—the body knows how to utilize these natural, bio-available vitamins and minerals, and sees the synthetic vitamins as toxic and rids itself of them as quickly as possible.

This is just simple pragmatism at work. Industry, however, doesn’t want you to think about these things. They want you to consume what they can market with the least cost and highest profit.

We’ve done our diligent research into nutrition and what the body needs and you will not get fad nutritional advice from us. You will get clear understanding of what the body needs and utilizes for proper nutrition, and how to use that advice for your particular needs.

You will not be told to. . .

  • “Take this handful of supplements,”
  • “Here’s a new pill for that problem,”
  • “Oh, if you’re going to take that, then you also really need this (pill),”
  • “You really need to take this pill for that problem,”
  • Etc. . .

Nonsense!

What will you get from us?

  • Clear understanding of what the body needs and why,
  • The most nutritional ways to allow your body to get what it needs,
