Acupuncture
Descriptions of how acupuncture works can vary depending on to whom you are talking, but the general principle is simple. Acupuncture pinpoints specific areas for stimulation, then uses hair-thin needles to activate those locations, improving circulation, removing blockages, and releasing endorphins. Acupuncture can be used to improve health, prevent disease, alleviate pain, or assist in the healing process. Western medicine has begun to recognize the benefits of acupuncture, with doctors referring patients to acupuncturists and many insurers covering acupuncture.
Conditions Acupuncture Can Benefit Include:
- Headache/Migraine
- Neck/Back pain
- High or low blood pressure
- Conditions caused by nerve pain like sciatica
- Pain in knees, elbows, shoulders, and other joints
- Strains, sprains, bursitis, tendinitis, and other soft tissue injuries

- Pregnancy or labor issues such as malposition of the fetus, morning sickness, or labor induction

SAFE, STERILE AND EFFECTIVE
Acupuncture has evolved over the centuries to a precise methodology. Today’s acupuncturists not only benefit from years of writings and teachings but from modern technology as well. Dr. Buckmaster uses sterile, stainless steel needles during acupuncture to ensure the safety and comfort of every patient.

Cupping
Cupping has been used since 3000 AD to remove toxins, improve blood flow, relieve pain, and assist in treatment. The process is simple, glass or bamboo jars are heated and then placed over specific points on the patient. The heat from the cup creates a seal, allowing the pressure generated to pull blood to the surface of the skin. This Traditional Chinese Medicine technique is usually described as relaxing and can be very beneficial to the overall healing process.

Cupping Enthusiasts
You may have heard of cupping during the 2016 Olympics when athletes shared that they used cupping to give them an edge during the competition. This Chinese Medicine procedure is becoming more and more popular among athletes and celebrities. However, you don’t have to be in a health-focused career to benefit from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Contact Acupuncture Center to find out if cupping is the right solution to your health challenge.
Moxibustion
Moxa or moxibustion is a method used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to protect against health concerns like cold or flu and to assist in the healing process. Moxa utilizes the healing power of an herb called mugwort that has been packed into a stick shape. The practitioner burns this stick and places it near specific acupuncture points to warm the area. Many patients feel a flood of warmth as blockages are released from the affected spot.
When We Use Moxibustion
- There is a painful injury
- Arthritis is flaring up
- To assist with digestive difficulties or blockages
- During gynecological or obstetric treatments
- As a health boost during flu season
- For patients who tend to “run cold”
