Acupuncture / Acupressure

Although people often associate acupuncture with large needles and mystical practices, modern research has shown that it is a powerful tool in reducing pain and promoting the body’s natural healing abilities.

If there is an imbalance in the natural, health flow of energy, this can reflect as a physical problem.  By stimulating a combination of specific points, the acupuncturist can restore balance in the body and assist the body in healing itself more effectively.

Acupuncture is extremely effective when applied properly and when used in conjunction with other natural health sciences such as: chiropractic care, exercise, and nutritional therapies.

Acupuncture has been credited with helping numerous conditions, including: acute and chronic pain, headaches, migraines, allergies, digestive problems, fibromyalgia, anxiety, low back pain, smoking cessation, and many others. Several studies have been performed in Europe and Asia to confirm these applications.  The World Health Organization, after recently performing a comprehensive study of Acupuncture literature and research stated that “the sheer weight of evidence demands that acupuncture must be taken seriously as a clinical procedure of considerable value.”

 How does it work?

We utilize specialized diagnostic equipment to graph the energy pattern of the body and visualize any imbalances that may be present.  This test takes only a few minutes and allows both the patient and the doctor to view and discuss the results.  Following this examination, specific points will be treated to address the complaints and imbalances, customizing treatments to the individual.  We have many types of treatment available including traditional needle stimulation and the modern laser or electronic stimulation modalities, which are equally effective.

At First State Health & Wellness we learn a patient’s complete health history and perform a thorough examination that enables us to develop a customized, effective program of treatment for each individual.

Dr. Meier Asks some important questions of interest to Hockessin residents - Chiropractor Hockessin Dr. Meier Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Hockessin chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
