Acupuncture Model Having learned from Dr Richard Tan, Lisa proudly practices the Balance Method which has been derived from the I Ching.  This is an ancient method of acupuncture, over 2,500 years old, and is different from most local point acupuncture practiced in the United States which can be uncomfortable and have inconsistent results.  The Balance Method provides amazing, effective results, often experienced immediately.  This is achieved by correct meridian diagnosis using the Balance Method based on the location of symptoms.  A complex grid system is then utilized to select appropriate distal points, which render precise, often immediate results!  As acupuncture is a drug free, natural system of healing, symptoms may return, especially in chemotherapy treatment, or other toxic exposure.  In these cases we work to reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms over a period of time until health is restored.
