Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a healing practice that has been used for thousands of years in the East. Through the insertion of hair-like needles into specific points on the body, a person's health can be prodded to regain harmony.
The main principle of Eastern Medicine is to keep the Yin and Yang as well as the organs' energies back to balance. When they are out of balance, we experience illness or pain. Acupuncture is a way to harmonize the body back into balance and therefore back to health.
Soon Pak Acupuncture utilizes a specific technique called Wun Ki Sa Am Acupuncture.
Wun Ki Sa Am Acupuncture
Wun Ki Sa Am Chim is the style of acupuncture created by Dr. Soon Pak. It is a very potent style of acupuncture and can produce powerful results.
So what exactly is Wun Ki Sa Am Chim?
In Eastern Medicine Wun Ki is the energy of the universe, and a person's Wun Ki constitution is their energy according to the time they were conceived and born. Sa Am Chim is a popular style of Korean acupuncture also known as “Four Needle Technique”. Following this theory, Dr. Pak uses a person’s Wun Ki constitution, pulse, palpation and presenting signs/symptoms to determine the best diagnosis and treatment plan. By using this style of acupuncture, we are able to not only treat the patient's symptoms, but also the root of the problem by balancing the organs' energies.
