Healing With Acupuncture with Dr. Mark Carney: Acupuncture & Wellness Hi, I'm Dr. Mark Carney. I'm a naturopathic doctor and an acupuncturist with a family practice in Denver, Colorado called Your Healing Place. People often ask, "What is acupuncture?" Acupuncture is one part of Chinese medicine. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Acupuncture is based on the concept of Qi and Qi means energy. The Qi is flowing through our body in rivers that are called meridians in Chinese medicine. Basically, what acupuncture is doing is inserting needles at different points of these meridians to flip open and closed valves to regulate the flow of the energy of the Qi. The acupuncture needles are so tiny that they are bendable. They are almost the thickness of a human hair. So that's acupuncture. Let's talk about wellness. Wellness is taking our health from wherever it's at and improving it. The four pillars to wellness, as I see it, are: 1. What we're eating or not eating 2. Quality and the quantity of the sleep and the rest that we get 3. The movement that our body gets on a regular basis 4. The interconnected feeling that we have to something outside of ourselves Acupuncture is one of the many pieces that can help people achieve greater and greater levels of wellness. We have many patients who come in on a routine basis and, by that, I mean either once a month or once a quarter, and they receive an acupuncture session, and they call these sessions their tune-up sessions, almost like we would think of tuning up a car. No matter where you're at with your health, acupuncture is one viable option to help improve and promote the quality of your health.
