Acupuncture

---

Dr. John Sparks and Dr. William Sparks are both well trained in acupuncture. 

They use acupuncture as an adjunct to Chiropractic.

Acupuncture is a healing art that is possibly 5,000 years old. Most probably invented or discovered in ancient China. One origin story of acupuncture goes; there was a Chinese warrior that had been suffering with severe headaches, but the local healer had not been able to help the warrior with them. During a battle, the warrior had one of his fifth toes shot off with an arrow and his headaches were relieved. The warrior related this to his healer, and so the first acupuncture point was discovered on the fifth toe of each foot. It was named Zhiyin in Chinese, meaning “reaching yen“ in English, and in the numbering system it is known as bladder 67. According to this origin story, the search for the rest of the Acupuncture Points began.

Acupuncture is the organ to skin and skin to organ electrical energy flow.

There are multiple methods to increase or decrease this electrical flow with acupuncture. These methods can be the insertion of small needles, finger pressure, cold, heat, or even microcurrent electric. The forms of stimulation can all be used effectively to change the Acupuncture Points and the meridians or pathways that the energy flows. Fingertip pressure, small, fine needles, and Microcurrent electrical stimulation are the most used at Sparks Clinic. Dr. William and Dr. John Sparks have found that electroacupuncture gets as good or better results than needles, and is virtually painless. Acupuncture points are also called electro energy points. Qi is life force, it flows through all of the meridians and acupuncture points throughout the body. Qi is a bipolar ( yen/yang), electromagnetic, energetical power flow that runs the body’s functions and helps the body heal. Many times, the body needs help healing, like when scar tissue forms after a cesarean section birth causing a patient to develop migraines.

The flow from the organs diagnostic and the flow from skin to the organs is therapeutic. There Are 361 of these points on the skin and over 1500 total points in and on the body. The year has approximately 200 points on it alone.

Acupuncture is one of the four parts of TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine, which should probably be called Traditional Chinese Healing.

The four parts

1) Acupuncture 2) Tui Na: push/pull Chinese chiropractic

3) Chi gong: meditation or mind acupuncture 4) Herbology: the use of Chinese herbs for healing.

Many, if not all health challenges can be affected with TCM.

The World Health Organization or W. H. O. says that over 200 conditions can be successfully treated with acupuncture

When the electromagnetic acupuncture system is out of balance, it could be described as a radio channel that is not tuned as it should. For instance, if a radio station channel was 101.5 and the tuner is set at 101.3, you could still hear the station, but it would be fuzzy and full of static. So, any messages sent will not be as clear as they should be. When this is happening in the acupuncture system, organs and health are in a state of disease, the time of malfunction which happens before disease develops. However, acupuncture addresses these electrical imbalances while the body is still in the dis-ease time, the imbalance can be corrected before the problem becomes a disease, and many times before symptoms ever develop.

Sparks Clinic may use acupuncture along with chiropractic to address your health challenges or your plan to be disease free. We can help you starting today, if you want to be healthier and make your life better. If your health challenge has moved beyond the disease phase and now has symptoms like pain, Dr. William Sparks or Dr. John Sparks may use chiropractic and acupuncture together. This will reverse your health challenge back to the disease level, and maybe even back to normal health.
