Acupuncture and Nutritional Counseling for Weight Management and Digestive HealthFor thousands of years, Chinese Medicine has acknowledged a vital energy force called "Qi" that flows through all living things. Healthy "Qi" is a key factor for a healthy digestion and natural weight management. In western medicine today, it has been scientifically determined that human beings are unique bio-energetic systems. This bio-energy or "Qi" flows along pathways in the body, which affect and maintain the organs and the tendo-muscular systems.When the balance of energy is disturbed-- due to stress, injury physical or mental trauma, poor nutrition, hereditary conditions or environmental factors-- pain, illness, hormonal imbalances, poor nutrition and weight gain often result. Acupuncture and nutritional counseling focuses on correcting these energetic imbalances by encouraging the "Qi" to flow normally. It is this action that stimulates the body's natural ability to heal. The Center of Balance has a variety of services available to you. Both Dr. Gilmartin and Dr. Hirota treat patients with structural and pain issues.
