Gentle Tiger Acupuncture

     What do I do here at Gentle Tiger Acupuncture? I do NOT do acupuncture. What? you may be thinking/saying. That’s a bold statemtent considering I have a degree in Oriental Medicine and a license to practice acupuncture in the state of WI (www.drl.wi.gov Lic # 510-055). What I intend is thus: the word “acupuncture” doesn’t convey much ABOUT acupuncture. Usually if it does mean something it’s “NEEDLES”. I understand that feeling intimately, especially with the phobia many of us (yes, I too cannot handle hypodermic needles – eeewwww!) have here in the West with those MASSIVE (I exxagerate, but they FEEL massive!) hypodermic needles that are hollow. – ACK. It makes me naseous if I ponder it too long.

     The beauty of acupuncture needles is that they are about 1/2  the size or less of hypodermic needles and they’re even difficult for the patient to see when held up to the light. I don’t tell anyone the needles are going to make them feel good. I tell them (and this is the truth – pay attention to this, because it’s a secret, but you can share it.), their body is going to make them feel good.

     I choose the acupuncture points on  your body, insert them gently and then your body wakes up and continues the process of healing. The acupuncture needles also gives your mind something to focus on so that it can get out of the way of your healing process. So, when you think of acupuncture at Gentle Tiger Acupuncture, think of relaxing, breathing deeply and comfortably, while your mind winds down, relaxes, exhales and your body gently glides along as it heals and returns to you.
