Has a needle ever broken or gotten stuck in someone? Nope, not on our watch! This is one of those horror stories you hear from a friend of a friend who knew someone this happened to back in 1999. It’s like that game of telephone, where what starts as a whisper turns into gossip,which turns into opinion and then fact, and acupuncture gets a bad rap. Honestly, of all the things on earth you could worry about, this shouldn’t be on...e of them. . . There is literally a pointfor all that worrying you're doing. Come see us and take on your days worry free. . . by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #laugh #smile #selfcare #badassbossbabes #entrepreneurlife #welcometoourlivingroom #december #31moredays #countdownison #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #youareagift #holidays #winterwonderland #giftfromtheheart #gentlereminder #acupuncture #solong2020 #givethegiftofhealth See more

What if I don’t know how to relax? First of all, join the club. And second, there’s no better way than Balance method acupuncture to experience deeply pleasurable, restorative relaxation. Why is relaxation so important?... Your nervous system relies on your body's ability to rest and relax. When you relax, your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) takes over. The PNS is also called rest and digest mode, and for good reason: when you’re in this state, your body’s healing response is activated. On the other hand, when you’re in a hyped-up, overthinking, restless state, your sympathetic nervous system takes over. You’ve probably heard this called flight, flight, or freeze mode. Being stuck in this mode has long-term side effects that include chronic stress and anxiety. These in turn lead to tight shoulders, pain, hormonal imbalances, compromised immune system, and a whole cascade of health problems. . . Book yourself in for an appointment immediately. Even if you suck at relaxing, we’ll send you off for the acu-nap of your dreams! . . by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #laugh #smile #selfcare #badassbossbabes #entrepreneurlife #welcometoourlivingroom #december #31moredays #countdownison #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #youareagift #holidays #winterwonderland #giftfromtheheart #gentlereminder #acupuncture #solong2020 #givethegiftofhealth See more

How quickly will I see results?How many treatments do I need before I’ll feel better? With Balance method acupuncture, we often see immediate improvement, even during the first treatment. In fact, this method is designed to get faster results, thanks to your bodies unique ability to heal. That said, though, let's just be clear here we are not amazon prime! You will benefit hugely from a solid foundation of treatments.... By foundation, we mean a series of treatments that resets your body into a new and healing pattern. This usually takes between 4 and 10 regular treatments in about 4 to 6 weeks. Here’s some great news: Once you’ve got this foundation, even if you disappear for months, or even years, the foundation will still be there. You’ve probably heard of cell memory, right? Well, your muscles and cells will recognize the process and hop back into that healing pattern, regardless of how long since your last treatment. Snowglobing at it's finest (see Monday's post ). So, sure, come in once or twice and we may be able to shift an acute problem. But stick around for a foundational series of treatments, and we’ll rock your world. You’re a unique individual, so we can’t say how many treatments you’ll need to build this foundation. Once we take a history and get to know you, we can give you a better idea. What we CAN tell you is there’s no substitute for an initial series of treatments done consistently in a short period of time. by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #welcometoourlivingroom #december #countdownison #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #holidays #acupuncture #givethegiftofhealth #merrychristmas #happyholidays See more

What’s happening once all the needles are in? Let’s talk SNOWGLOBESsince 'tis the season Imagine shaking up a snowglobe and watching the snow fall on the little world inside it. Got that?... Okay, let’s say your body is the snowglobe and the world inside is your muscles, memory cells, and neurons. Balance-method acupuncture sends a message to your brain that its world is being turned upside down. After this inner world gets shaken up, its tendency is to fall back into its old pattern. But the treatment has cleared away the sludge to allow for new patterns to form. In other words, acupuncture starts carving new paths for your inner snow! A course of treatments will help reset you to a new, healthier, more resilient normal. To put this in chemical terms, acupuncture triggers the release of biochemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins from the brain and nervous system. These natural proteins are the body’s own morphine, which inhibit pain and produce feelings of euphoria and deep relaxation. All that, and much more, is what’s happening once the needles are in. by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #laugh #smile #selfcare #badassbossbabes #entrepreneurlife #welcometoourlivingroom #december #31moredays #countdownison #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #youareagift #holidays #winterwonderland #giftfromtheheart #acupuncture #solong2020 #givethegiftofhealth #snowglobe See more

Want to know what the number 1 question we get ALL the time? . . Does #acupuncture hurt? .... . The short answer is NO! The long answer put you in charge of telling us if it does or doesn't. . . Here's what's really important to us, at NO time during your acupuncture treatment should you be lying there in pain or thinking about how much 1 or more particular needles hurts! We will NEVER surprise you with a needle, you will always know where it will be going as we ALWAYS palpate the point first. Sensations we are looking for heavy dull aching sensations and sometimes nothing at all BUT NEVER sharp stabbing or shooting If anyone of those sensations pop up, you let us know immediately and we will take out the needle, leave it out or replace it. . . Now, are more people needle sensitive than others, YES! but that's ok, we are those people too. We have a million tricks up ourselves to ensure your 1st or sometimes 100th acupuncture treatment is an enjoyable experience. . . Leave a comment below if you've been to The Village.

I got pain here! Why are you needling my leg? . . The short answer... because we studied REALLY hard!... The Long answer... Here at the Village we practice Balance Acupuncture. Where we don't have to stick a needle in your pain for it to resolve. Actually if you think of that it's kind of like spanking a crying babyand NO ONE would do that right? . . Well same with acupuncture. We can see a faster more immediate response to pain WITHOUT sticking a needle in your arm and twisting it until you are writhing in pain! . . We simply have to use the Balance method. Where your arm might be in pain, we'd seek points on your legs or opposite arm to treat that pain. The relief on your pain scale should be noticeable if not immediate. Yes you may look at us like we performed some sort of magic but we didn't, we just used to pathways, checked in with your brain and told it to do something different. Easy right?! . . Who's booking in right now to shift that pain? by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #laugh #smile #selfcare #badassbossbabes #entrepreneurlife #november #welcometoourlivingroom #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #youareagift #giftfromtheheart #gentlereminder #acupuncture #givethegiftofhealth #novmeber #useyourbenifits See more

Does acupuncture hurt? Oh boy, this is such a common question. Short answer: NO. ... Longer answer: Acupuncture doesn’t have to hurt to work. Your treatment is not something to suffer through. Quite the opposite. We want you to relax because that’s when healing happens, and you can’t relax if you’re bracing against pain. Most patients say they either don’t feel the needles going in at all or they feel a slight pinch. On the off chance you do experience discomfort, we’ll adjust the needle right away or take it out. But pain is so subjective. Maybe a friend has told you about their excruciating acupuncture session (which, we guarantee, didn’t happen at the Village). We’re on constant alert for your responses and will stop immediately at the first sign that you’re less than happy. We check in a LOT, and we welcome your honest feedback. Do not EVER suffer in silence! Telling you that acupuncture doesn’t hurt means nothing, though, until you experience it. So, book an appointment, and judge for yourself. If you’re feeling nervous, let us know. We’ll put you right at ease -- and maybe even right to sleep! . . by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #laugh #smile #selfcare #badassbossbabes #entrepreneurlife #welcometoourlivingroom #december #31moredays #countdownison #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #youareagift #holidays #winterwonderland #giftfromtheheart #gentlereminder #acupuncture #solong2020 #givethegiftofhealth See more

How do I know the acupuncture is working? Where to begin?! During your treatment, here are some things to watch for. They all indicate that the needles are doing their job. Acupuncture chill You feel a chill rushing over you even though you’re fully dressed and have a blanket or sweater on. This is your sympathetic nervous system (SNS) shutting down and your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) chiming in to get the healing party started.... Tears Yup, tears. For no reason at all your eyes might start to water. Again, this is your SNS shutting down and your PNS turning on! Sleep or feeling like you’re asleep You may be able to hear noises around you but they sound far in the distance. Time passes quickly. Your limbs jump and wake you up Hello nervous systems doing their jobs! You’re snoring When you wake yourself up with a shnarful (yes, a patient has said this word), you know it’s working! (A personal favorite of ours.) Pain level drops If your pain drops from a 9 to a 3 out of 10 before we even get all the needles in, you know you’re cookin’. . . by the incredible @jessicajacobsonphotography #communityacupuncture #supportlocal #hastingssunrise #eastvillagevancouver #vancouver #holdingspace #supportsmallbussiness #bcbuylocal #locobc #eastvan #buylocal #laugh #smile #selfcare #badassbossbabes #entrepreneurlife #welcometoourlivingroom #december #31moredays #countdownison #getmoreacupuncture #supportlocal #youareagift #holidays #winterwonderland #giftfromtheheart #gentlereminder #acupuncture #solong2020 #givethegiftofhealth See more

Practice what you preach.... Yes I get acupuncture done. My treatment today with @kk.acupuncture was beyond necessary, thank you so much . .... . My body since turning 40 has, well, felt ‘interesting’ to say the least. 20 years of working in the service industry (in a deli with my meat slicer shoulder and serving in restaurants) has come back to haunt me more then ever. My knees out of the blue are aching, low back chronic pain, and my right elbow feels like I’ve been playing hardcore tennis my whole life. Not to mention, I swear literally on the day I turned 40, looking down at my ankle and seeing a strange growth that had to be cut out. What gives, seriously. . . My treatment felt like it took years off me. I feel so much better for many reasons. There’s less pain, my anxiety has calmed, and I know my sleep will be much better tonight. The other big one for me is as a person in this crazy world, and as a mom, having that hour is detrimental to my mental health. It’s so peaceful, I never get that kind of peace in my day to day life. Between being on my phone or computer screen way too much, children, house work, etc, when the hell do I get to be the one taken care of. I’m dedicated to getting treatments minimum once a week (ideally twice when I can). Acupuncture is very effective but also cumulative, the more often you get it the longer the positive benefits stay in effect. . I’m there to take care of you @thevillageacupuncture Tuesday’s 10-2 Thursday’s 10-2 Sunday’s. 10-2 .

Seasons are changing, days are slowly getting darker NOW is the time to boost our systems and prepare for fall. Time to bring out the crock pots and soup pans and start thinking about eating warming foods like soups, stews and broths. Managing stress, adequate sleep, a healthy diet and acupuncture keeps the immune system strong. Maintaining a strong immune system can be your best defense against illness. Coming in for acupuncture regularly is an effective way to stimulate the... body’s natural immune responses. Acupuncture also helps to relieve stress and anxiety that weakens your body’s lines of defense. Come see me @thevillageacupuncture you can book online.

How can you take good care of your health and wellbeing and support your local communities right now You can patronizing the small businesses in your communities who's owner are your neighbours, friends and family If you're fortunate to have extended health insurance book in a series of treatments with your favorite practitioners and maybe a new one too... With the year half over, now is a good time to plan out the use of your benefits through to the end of the year as well as helping not to contribute to the millions of benefit dollars unused in Canada every year Consider supporting women owned and operated businesses. Consider supporting indigenous and people of colour owned and operated businesses Where you choose to show support and patronage has a huge impact on the health of your communities, all the while helping you invest in better managing stress, reducing pain, increasing energy, optimizing digestion and finally getting a restful sleep. Good thing acupuncture can help with all of that and more!
