Feeling healthy is more than being free of the symptoms of disease. Rarely do we maintain a health maintenance regime that would insure well-being but in fact it's this philosophy that forms one of the key benefits of Oriental Medicine and when implemented, keeps illness at bay. At TriMaru Acupuncture clinic many of our patients come to us when they have a health crisis but return seasonally for well visits. We treat body imbalances and help patients maintain health.

Acute Care
Acute conditions such as trauma or illnesses with sudden onset show obvious signs and symptoms often involving pain, weakness or debility. Visits may be more frequent which will insure quicker relief from pain or other symptoms, thus allowing you to feel better faster. Acupuncture is a subtle medicine and each treatment builds on the one before, therefore treatments that are closer together work more effectively than treatments that are farther apart. Some chronic conditions require more frequent visits initially to build the positive momentum as well. After symptoms have subsided or disappeared treatments will be less frequent to maintain the results.
Maintenance Care
Maintenance treatments are beneficial for everyone, however most patients undergo maintenance care following treatment for acute conditions. It is important to understand that this step is critical to build the system and to discourage relapse. Acute care treats the "branch" or manifestation of disease or illness and maintenance care treats the "root" or essence, building the bodies own immunity. Patients that forgo this step do not ultimately achieve the results they desire. Acupuncture enhances quality of life and health. Why not take advantage of the best that Oriental Medicine has to offer?
Pre and Post Surgical
Patients preparing for or recovering from surgical procedures achieve better results when they have acupuncture treatments to build their immunity before and after their surgical procedures. Surgery is an important and often lifesaving option for may patients however any surgery constitutes a trauma to our bodies. Acupuncture shortens healing times for post surgical patients by increasing circulation in the affected area and by aiding the patient's immune response.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy benefit from acupuncture treatments to reduce the side effects of their western medical treatments, such as nausea, fatigue and anxiety.
Athletic Enhancement

Designed to build strength, endurance, lung capacity and flexibility as well increase energy and immunity for the weekend warrior or professional athlete.

Members of Lance Armstrong's Tour De France team were able to push harder and advance in the race due to the Oriental Medical treatments they received.
Research has shown that certain medicinals increase oxygen utilization and the body's ability to do work more efficiently and are able to increase the effects of adrenaline as well as acting to tonify the body and strengthen resistance to disease and boost the immune system.

Detox Treatments
Acupuncture has been shown to aid patient drug detoxification by reducing cravings and negative side effects of detoxification. Under the guidelines of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) patients are treated three times a week for six weeks. This series has been shown to be the most effective. NADA protocol is effectively used by many drug treatment facilities.
We offer the NADA detoxification protocol for recreational and prescription drug detoxification as well as a health detoxification for those wishing to clean pollutants out of their bodies. As part of this program patients receive medicinals and supplements that further support the detoxification program.
