 
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment is rendered based on Chinese
medical diagnoses, which includes assessment of pulse
quality, shape and color of the tongue, medical history,
and a whole body evaluation. Following the Chinese
diagnosis, acupuncture needles are inserted into
the body at specific points along acupuncture meridians,
or pathways, which stimulates the body’s healing
energy or Qi. Chinese medicine and acupuncture work
to treat the whole patient and the root of a problem
rather than using medication to mask a symptom and
let the problem persist.
“It is not the brush that paints a beautiful painting
but the hand that wields it.”
Like acupuncturists in China, Filipp Gadar uses the
traditional free-hand technique to insert needles
(versus using a plastic guide tube) which takes a
high level of skill and allows for more precise insertion.
Patients regularly report more effective outcomes
from this traditional technique, as it allows Filipp
to be in direct contact with the Qi of the patient
and sense the body’s response to the needle, which
is a key factor in performing a successful treatment.
