Acupuncture & Adjunctive Therapies

Q: What is Acupuncture?

A: Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world, originating in China more than 2,000 years ago. It consists of inserting fine needles into the body at precise points to treat specific health issues, and is often combined with other Chinese medical modalities such as acupressure, moxibustion (heat therapy), cupping , Gua Sha , and Chinese dietary therapy.

The goal of acupuncture is to restore and maintain optimum health, improve physiological function, and relieve pain. At its heart is the physics principle that "energy precedes matter".

Beginning with Einstein’s theory of relativity, science has repeatedly proven that mass is nothing but a form of energy, an energy that exists before its manifestation into material form. In the body, this energy or qi (pronounced "chee"), is responsible for the structure and function of the entire organism. Qi flows through the body via an intricate network of pathways that we call Acupuncture "channels". They are not discernible by means of dissection, but they have been detected and located by Western scientific methods.

In Chinese medical theory, pain and illness result when the smooth flow of qi is hindered. This can be due to internal factors such as diet, exercise, rest, or emotions, or external considerations such as weather, trauma, microbes, or toxins.

Acupuncture works to restore balance in the body/mind system. When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points along the energetic pathways, they help to restore the smooth flow of qi by enhancing what is deficient, reducing what is excessive, and removing what is blocked. By making energetic "suggestions", acupuncture stimulates the body’s intrinsic healing abilities, helping the patient regain energetic balance and, ultimately, material health.

Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) as a safe, natural and drug-free way to address a wide range of health concerns.

Q: Is Acupuncture safe?

A: When performed by a competently trained and licensed professional, acupuncture is extremely safe (refer to "How do I choose a qualified Acupuncturist?" below). Acupuncture needles are sterile, single use surgical-grade stainless steel wire, and licensed acupuncturists are trained to use OSHA-approved clean needle protocols to safeguard themselves and their patients. There is virtually no chance of infection or contagion. Side effects are uncommon but can include minor bruising, numbness or tingling near the needle site, dizziness, or fainting.  

- top -

Q: Does Acupuncture hurt?

A: Acupuncture needles are made from extremely fine gauge, flexible, surgical-grade stainless steel wire. They are not much thicker than a single hair, and their insertion is practically painless. In general, when the needles are inserted you can expect to feel a light tingling sensation, a feeling of heaviness or distension, warmth or coolness, or a sensation of local numbness at the acupuncture site. These sensations are tied inextricably to the specific acupuncture point being treated as each point has its own energetic "flavor".

Most acupuncture patients are surprised to discover that treatments involve little or no pain, and are usually quite relaxing. Some patients even fall asleep during treatment.

Q: What does Acupuncture treat?

A: Acupuncture is used treat many conditions, both alone or in combination with Western medicine. While it is best known in this country for treating painful conditions such as migraine headaches, arthritis, and back pain, it is also effective for many other acute and chronic conditions including respiratory (e.g., sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma), reproductive (e.g., painful or irregular menstruation, premenstrual syndrome, impotence, infertility), digestive (e.g., constipation, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome), and many others. A cupuncture is also an effective treatment for a wide range of emotional issues including depression, stress, and acute and chronic anxiety.

- top -

Q: Can Acupuncture be combined with Western medicine?

A: Typically, Eastern and Western medicine combine well for the patient's benefit. As a complementary alternative approach to healthcare, Chinese medicine is often helpful when treating conditions that are generally unresponsive to drug-oriented approaches. It is also useful as an adjunctive therapy to reduce medication dependencies while enhancing the body's ability to heal. Conversely, some conditions such as acute infections, joint dislocations, etc., may respond more rapidly to Western techniques.

If you are currently under the care of a physician for a specific condition, let him/her know that you would like to add acupuncture to your treatment regimen. When you approach your physician about adding acupuncture, please tell him/her that Denise Slavich practices acupuncture only, and will NOT prescribe herbs that could interfere with any medication you may be taking. 

- top -

Q: Will I have to use herbal formulas as part of my treatment?

A: Denise Slavich is trained in Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) which treats the physical manifestation of illness at its energetic root. As practitioners of Classical Chinese Medicine are said to "specialize" in acupuncture, she typically does not prescribe herbs as part of any energetic treatment regimen. However, we do offer some herbal formulas for home care.

Q: How many Acupuncture treatments will I need?

A: As with any medicine, acupuncture offers healing through a balance of science and art. The number and frequency of treatments you will need depends on several factors including the complexity of your illness and how long you've had it, your general state of health, and how well your body/mind system responds to each treatment. There are two basic ways to approach acupuncture and energetic medicine: quickly or gradually.

Some people respond very quickly to acupuncture and can benefit from a more intense frequency of treatments that are spaced closely together. This approach is popular across Asia and is typically followed in clinical studies of acupuncture around the world. It is ideal for acute situations or problems of recent onset such as pain, fatigue, or digestive upset of a few months’ duration. Closely spaced treatments can have a MAJOR impact on a health issue. Patients often notice marked improvement after only a few treatments, and full symptom resolution within 2-20 treatments. However, they may need to receive a course of weekly and/or semi-regular follow-up treatments to “lock in” positive change.

Other people respond best to a more gradual approach to healing. For these patients, weekly or bi-monthly treatments are used to gently shift the body/mind system back toward health. This gentle approach is how acupuncture is typically practiced in the United States. The course of treatment may last from a few weeks to several months, depending on how well the patient responds. This approach is often recommended for patients experiencing “knotty” problems (multiple layers of chronic illness) or patients who—due to advanced age or complex health concerns—would simply respond better to a more measured shift toward healing. Over time, the gradual nature of this approach can help patients realize profound results, even for chronic, long-term problems.

Regardless of how you approach acupuncture, it is important to remember that it is a process, not a product. The goal of acupuncture is to remind your body what it is to exist in a state of health. While some patients experience what they consider to be “miraculous” results after only a few treatments, for most, the energetic “message” of acupuncture may need to be repeated a number of times for it to fully sink in. In many ways, starting acupuncture is like starting a new medicine. Just as it often takes a number of pills to begin seeing positive results, it may take a number of acupuncture treatments to fully address your health concerns. The good news is that unlike with conventional medication, while you are waiting for the acupuncture to address your primary health concern, you will quickly begin to notice less stress, better sleep, perhaps better digestion, and an improved quality of life. 

- top -

Q: How quickly will I begin to feel better?

A: Your acupuncturist's goal is to help you begin to feel better AND begin to heal as quickly as possible. Generally, patients who respond positively to acupuncture tend to fall into three categories: those who feel relief from their symptoms during and immediately after the treatment; those who feel relief later that same day or the next day; and those who feel relief up to a few days later. Examples of this would be someone who feels their headache "leave" while they're on the table; someone with acute hip pain from a recent injury who has no reduction in pain during treatment but feels little or no pain the next morning; or a patient with chronic back pain who begins to feel some relief later that same week.

As you begin to feel better, it is important to understand that "relief" and "healing" are two different things. In the beginning, the benefits you'll notice with acupuncture may be subtle and/or fade after a few hours or days, especially if you are dealing with a chronic condition. Please do not be discouraged; this is a normal part of the healing process and is to be expected as your body begins to let go of imbalance and "get used to" the idea of healing. Because of this, we often suggest more closely spaced treatments for new patients (at least once or twice per week) to more consistently "remind" your body/mind what health feels like. As you begin to heal, the changes you experience should begin to stabilize and remain stable for progressively longer periods of time. See " How many Acupuncture treatments will I need? " for more information.

The ultimate goal of acupuncture is to help you regain your energetic balance and, ultimately, material health. It may take time and patience, but it can be done.

Q: Does Acupuncture "work" for everyone?

A: Acupuncture has something to offer almost everyone, but there are times when it might not be the best approach for you.

If you are completely wiped out and suffering from abject physical weakness, acupuncture might not be what you need right now. Since acupuncture works with your body’s own energetic field to effect change, it actually takes energy to move energy. If you are quite weak, we may need to do some other energetic work—such as moxibustion —to build up your strength before moving forward with acupuncture, or gently combine the two in order to build up your core foundation. During these times, a "less is more" approach will yield the greatest result.

Your expectations will also play a big role in your success with acupuncture, but not in any "you must believe for it to work" sort of way. Although some patients have reported amazingly quick recoveries, if you expect 5 years of chronic back pain to resolve after only one acupuncture treatment, we may have a problem. As a process, acupuncture can take time to "remind" the body what health feels like. (See " How many Acupuncture treatments will I need? ") If you expect overnight results and are not willing to allow your body the time it needs to heal, acupuncture might not be your best choice.

Finally, as I tell my patients, energetic medicine isn’t always "pretty". As acupuncture treatments begin to balance and circulate your body's energy, this movement may resurrect older physical symptoms or emotional wounds that you thought were gone but actually went underground in your system…gone but not forgotten. We call this energy "Latent Pathogenic Qi", and it is often at the root of many of today's ills. As we begin to re-establish the body/mind system back to equilibrium, these old latencies may resurface and need to be addressed, and that might not always be pleasant. The good thing is that if latent pathologies are reawakened during the healing process, we can actually begin to address them so that they can clear. (This concept is also known as Hering's "Law of Cure". Click here for an excellent slideshow on this topic by Dr. Larry Bernstein, VMD, CVH, CVA, PCHom, a holistic veterinarian.)

Q: What will my Acupuncturist need to know about me?

A: Since energetic medicine is non-linear in nature, your acupuncturist will need to know much more about you than simply the details of your chief complaint (i.e., the reason you made the appointment). When you complete your New Patient Paperwork , be certain to inform your practitioner of your entire medical history including all medications, injuries, illnesses, surgeries, etc. Also, let her know if you have HIV, Hepatitis C, an infectious skin disorder, or any other contagious disease; a seizure disorder; if you wear a cardiac pacemaker; if you have artificial joints or limbs; or if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking any blood thinning medication. Please also tell your practitioner if you are or may be pregnant.

Q: What should I do Before & After receiving Acupuncture?

• For best results, schedule your appointment when you will have time both before and after to let the treatment "land" without distraction.
• Wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Please avoid one-piece garments (e.g., long dresses, unitards). You may need to remove constricting clothing or undergarments, in which case a drape or gown will be provided.
• You should not be hungry, but please do not eat a heavy meal or consume caffeine an hour or so before your appointment.
• Please avoid food or drink that may stain your tongue, and do not brush your tongue on the day of your appointment.
• Please do not consume alcohol prior to your treatment. Our office reserves the right to withhold treatment from any patient who has consumed alcohol or engaged in recreational drug use immediately prior to their appointment.

After your treatment is over, you can continue your day. For best results, you may want to schedule your appointment when you will have a bit of time after to let it "land". This is especially true if you are using acupuncture to help you better handle stress, or if you are receiving acupuncture to help you build up your system due to a "deficiency" condition.

Q: What is Moxa (or Moxibustion)?

A: If you spend any time near an acupuncture practice, you may notice a distinctive aroma. One that is similar to the smell of burning sage or, perhaps, a Grateful Dead Concert. Although the aroma does come from a burning herb and may smell familiar, it isn’t what you might think.

What you are smelling is an herb called mugwort, known in Chinese medicine as "moxa". Acupuncturists burn moxa during a process called "moxibustion" to bring warmth to specific points on the body. As the moxa is burned near the skin, the heat penetrates deeply to induce a smooth flow of blood and energy (or "qi", pronounced "chee") while simultaneously relaxing and rejuvenating the body from within.

Moxa is often used to augment acupuncture treatments for energetic deficiency conditions in which the body’s own organic heat (or "yang") has become less than optimal. Symptoms of some energetic deficiency conditions that are treated with moxa include cold hands and feet, loose stools in the morning, unexplained fatigue, chronic lower back pain, chronic upper respiratory ailments, or unexplained abdominal bloating after eating.

Moxa can also be used as a standalone treatment for menstrual cramps or to boost the immune system, and is a fast-acting remedy at the first sign of a cold. It has even been used to turn breech babies during the third trimester, but this should not be attempted without the prior approval of your obstetrician and then only by a licensed acupuncturist who has completed follow-on training in obstetric acupuncture.

Medical historians believe that moxibustion actually pre-dates acupuncture and that needling came to supplement moxa after the 2nd century B.C. The ancient Chinese symbol for acupuncture—translated as "needle-burn"—attests to the significant role moxa has played in the history of Chinese medicine, and continues to play today.

Q: What are Cupping and Gua Sha?

A: Cupping and Gua Sha are ancient healing techniques that help rid the body of Blood or Qi stagnation that has become lodged in subcutaneous tissues. This stagnation can arise from a previous or recent injury, surgery, or stress/tension. Both modalities are used primarily on the yang surfaces of the body such as the neck, shoulders, upper arms, back, hips, hamstrings and calves, but may also be used on the upper chest and abdomen. Light cupping with specially designed micro-cups is also used on the face to lift tissues and support lymphatic drainage. Micro-cupping over the frontal and maxillary sinus areas can promote healthy sinus function as well.

Cupping
You may be familiar with cupping from the round "octopus kisses" that graced Gwyneth Paltrow's back a few years ago. While the media explosion around those pictures introduced many people to this ancient but little known therapy, the strong cupping marks on her back made some squeamish about receiving it. The good news is that the visual results of cupping usually aren't that dramatic--it typically leaves only slight redness that disappears by treatment end (or within a few days for deep work). The better news is that when combined with acupuncture to address sprains, strains and other musculoskeletal issues, cupping can provide an impressive level of physical relief.

Cupping is officially defined as a "therapeutic method that uses negative force to stimulate the flow of blood and qi to an affected area." Like acupuncture, it has been part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It is used to relieve congestion and inflammation of muscles, and open pathways to eliminate toxins. Cupping is used to relieve pain in the muscles, especially back pain from stiffness or injury, and for clearing congestion in the chest which can occur with colds and flu.

During a cupping treatment, a partial vacuum is created inside a specially designed glass cup, which is then placed on lightly lubricated skin. The negative pressure holds the cup in place as it draws the skin upward. There is no sensation of pain, yet you can definitely feel a pull on the skin.

Cupping is often used with acupuncture to address pain and tension of the neck, shoulders and upper arms, back, hips, abdomen, hamstrings and calves. By creating suction and negative pressure, cupping helps to bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin; loosen adhesions, reduce inflammation and stimulate lymphatic flow. It has even been used to loosen the "dimpling" of cellulite. Cupping can be performed on individual points ("static cupping") or over larger areas using a special gliding technique known as "cupping massage". The rhythmic motion of cupping massage can be profoundly relaxing, especially when performed on the shoulders and back. One patient described is at feeling like she was "getting a massage, only from the inside out."

Gua Sha
Like cupping, Gua Sha is also used to address the Blood and Qi stagnation of musculoskeletal pain, or to address the symptoms of the common cold, flu, bronchitis, or asthma. During a Gua Sha treatment, the skin is rubbed with a round-edged instrument in downward strokes. The skin may turn pink or—in cases of strong stagnation—petechia may form at the surface of the skin, resembling a hickey.

The benefits of Gua Sha include an immediate positive shift in pain or sense of constraint. As it works to address the stagnation of Blood and Qi, Gua Sha promotes circulation and normalizes metabolic processes. It is a valuable treatment for both external and internal pain, and helps to facilitate the resolution of both acute and chronic disorders.

Choosing an Acupuncturist

Q: How do I choose a qualified Acupuncturist?

A: The practice of acupuncture is much, much more than simply sticking needles into points. It takes years of dedicated study to learn the intricacies of this complicated science and art.

The best way to determine if your acupuncturist is qualified and licensed is to check with the state acupuncture licensing board. In North Carolina, this is the North Carolina Acupuncture Licensing Board ( NCALB ). They can tell you which acupuncturists are licensed and in good standing, and can usually give you contact information.

In North Carolina, a licensed acupuncturist (LAc) has met the following requirements:

• Completed a 4-year graduate program (approx. 2,000 hours) from a fully accredited school of Chinese medicine.
• Passed the nationally certified Clean Needle Technique course administered by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine ( CCAOM ).
• Passed the national board examinations administered by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine ( NCCAOM ).
• Fulfilled all ongoing Continuing Education requirements for license renewal.

Note: Although acupuncture is a licensed and regulated health care profession, you may know of physicians and chiropractors who offer acupuncture services, but who do not have "LAc" or "DiplAc" listed in their credentials. In North Carolina, MD's may practice "medical acupuncture" and DC's may practice "chiropractic acupuncture" under their primary license, but with almost no acupuncture training (as little as 100 hours of workshop instruction and/or home study for DC's, and 300 hours for MD's) and little if any supervised clinical experience. If you are unsure whether your practitioner is fully qualified and licensed to perform acupuncture, please ask before you consent to treatment. See " Know Your Acupuncturist " from the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (CCAOM) for more information.

Q: What are Denise Slavich's qualifications as an Acupuncturist?

A: Denise Slavich, LAc, DiplAc, ADS, is a classically trained, licensed, and board-certified acupuncturist. She is licensed to practice acupuncture in North Carolina. Her practice is a BBB Accredited business.

Denise received her primary acupuncture training from the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine , where she completed a nationally-accredited 4-year graduate program as a student of Dr. Sean Marshall, DAc, DiplAc, and Dr. Tran Viet Dzung, and in the tradition of the late Dr. Nguyen Van Nghi. Her studies at Jung Tao included classical energetics (energetic theory, point location, and diagnosis and treatment techniques); biomedicine (biomedical anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology); integrative medicine; 180+ hours of clinical observation; 600+ hours as a practicing clinical intern in the Jung Tao Student Clinic; and the guided study of T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Chi Kung. She received her undergraduate education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, graduating Summa Cum Laude.  

In addition to her licensure, Denise was awarded the Diplomate in Acupuncture (DiplAc) designation from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) after successfully passing extensive national board examinations. The "DiplAc" designation indicates an acupuncturist has met national standards for the safe and competent practice of acupuncture as defined by the profession. It has been the mark of excellence in the field of Chinese Medicine since the Commission’s inception in 1982.

Denise is a NADA-certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) for acupuncture-based treatment of addictions and related disorders, and is a certified "Last Call" practitioner. She is also trained in the Mei Zen™ Cosmetic Acupuncture System for facial rejuvenation.

Before pursuing a career in acupuncture, Denise served almost 10 years as a Cryptologist in the U.S. Navy; worked as a technical writer/editor for various industries; and instructed aerobics, yoga and other group fitness activities. She holds professional memberships in the North Carolina Association of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (NCAAOM), American Association of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (AAAOM), and Acupuncturists Without Borders (AWB). She is also a field editor for  The American Acupuncturist , the official quarterly publication of the AAAOM.

Services & Fees

Q: What Acupuncture services do you offer?

A: Please visit the Acupuncture Services  page for a list of our Acupuncture services and fees. 

- top -

Q: What can I expect during an Acupuncture treatment?

A: Before you come in for your first appointment, you will need to fill out a few standard HIPAA forms and a comprehensive health history questionnaire that highlights your past and present states of health. (This office is in compliance with federally-mandated HIPAA privacy practices.)

Important: You must bring your COMPLETED new patient paperwork to your first appointment. If your paperwork is incomplete, we may need to reschedule for another time.

When you come in for your first appointment, your acupuncturist will review your health history with you and discuss your main reason for this visit. She will also answer any questions you may have about acupuncture and your treatment. She will then perform a thorough examination based on Chinese medical principles to gather more objective information about your condition. She will feel your pulses and look at your tongue, and may palpate specific acupuncture points or along the pathway of specific channels to ascertain the root of the problem. After all of the information has been gathered, your practitioner will develop a treatment plan, and the acupuncture treatment will begin.

Your treatment may include acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxibustion, point specific cupping, or point-specific acupressure as necessary. Your practitioner may also suggest cupping massage, acupressure massage, Gua Sha, or even additional acupuncture or electro-acupuncture as an adjunct to your primary treatment. If any of these additional therapies are recommended, your practitioner will discuss them with you fully.

During follow up visits, your practitioner will re-assess your energetic state and perform an acupuncture treatment, adding other modalities as necessary to achieve the desired results.

New Patient Visits typically last 90 minutes. Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled for 60 minutes.

Q: What is "Acusäge"?

A: The Acusäge "acupuncture spa experience" is a unique treatment that combines four ancient healing therapies to help reset the connection between mind and body, making it easier for you to relax, recharge and refocus. Developed by Denise Slavich, LAc, Acusäge is ideal for anyone who feels trapped between an overly busy, stressed out "monkey mind", and an overly taxed, tension-filled body. Through the balanced application of acupuncture, acupressure massage, cupping massage, and Gua Sha, Acusäge provides a unique release of mental stress and physical tension as it restores harmony to body, mind and spirit.

The power of the Acusäge experience lies in the alchemy of its ingredients. Your treatment will take you on a journey to a place where the energetic and the physical become one. After a brief discussion and Chinese medical intake, you will receive a relaxing acupuncture treatment to address your tension at its energetic source. When your acupuncture session is complete, your acupuncturist will continue the experience through cupping massage, acupressure massage and Gua Sha on key areas of your neck, shoulders and back to restore movement to energetic channels that can become "blocked" through chronic tension and stress. (Most people report feeling a profound sense of relaxation during cupping massage...as if the heaviness of their mind and body is being "lifted away".) Finally, she will "close" the treatment through soothing acupressure of key points on your hands, feet, face, and scalp. 

An Acusäge session will typically last 90 minutes (please allow more time for new patients). Afterward, you may want to avoid tasks that require intense thought or focused effort for 1-2 hours to give the treatment ample time to "land". Acusäge is definitely not the type of treatment to squeeze in between conference calls or before an important dinner! However, when you need to deeply recharge—after an arduous week, in preparation for a major presentation or project, or as part of a monthly wellness regimen—an Acusäge treatment can help restore the calmness and clarity you need to regain your center and reconnect with your self.
