We recognize that acupuncture does not fit into a “one size fits all” treatment. We use Japanese-style needles that are smaller and are not as invasive as Chinese-style needles. Using Japanese-style acupuncture is gentler. After a thorough assessment, your treatment plan is tailored to fit your individual needs.

KAMPO

Kampo is a Traditional-style Medicine developed and practiced in Japan. Whereas the traditional practice is to check your tongue and pulse, palpating your abdomen to assess your body’s constitution in addition to checking the tongue and pulse and then assessing your symptoms, is the diagnostic practice of Kampo. Through palpating your abdomen for constitution, we can arrive at a better understanding of what we already suspect as a diagnosis. It has combined eastern and western forms of medicine. In Japan, Kampo is practiced by Physicians. Whereas in the United States, it is practiced by acupuncturists and other alternative healthcare professionals.

Kampo focuses on the study and use of herbs. Herbs are prescribed through your body’s response to palpating the abdomen, as well as, assessing the symptoms. Herbal formulas are designed to target and treat your overall conditions. The herbs come in a granulated form and are commonly drank as a tea. Herbs can substitute for and/or augment the effect of prescription medications, without the undue side effects and prohibitive costs. These formulas have been proven safe and effective for hundreds of years. Herbs can be used to increase absorption of vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Adding herbs will produce faster results than just improving diet and using physical medicine techniques like acupuncture, massage, or physical therapy. Herbs can treat you if you cannot get regular acupuncture or if you need daily therapy. Chronic illnesses respond well to these preparations.

Alpha-GAL and ALLERGY TREATMENT

SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) Protocol Certified.

Alpha-GAL is a mammalian product allergy. It is associated if you had ingested meat or other mammalian products that have had exposure to the lone star tick. It can also be transmitted if you have had contact with the lone star tick in the U.S. and different ticks around the world. Symptoms, including anaphylaxis, can be delayed up to 8 hrs. The treatment for Alpha-GAL is desensitization to the allergy.

ALLERGY TREATMENT

Itchy nose and throat, watery eyes, nasal congestion and sneezing are some symptoms associated with allergies to pollens, grasses, and ragweeds. Swelling, hives, rash, respiratory distress and lightheadedness are some of the symptoms associated with food allergies. These symptoms can also be associated to fungus and environmental toxins. Allergies can come from various sources. The SAAT procedure was developed in the 1960s by Nader Soliman, MD to clear or significantly reduce your histamine response to allergens.

Acupuncture and SAAT can help you eliminate your allergies so you can feel better and start enjoying the things that really matter.

ESSENTIAL OILS

In addition to acupuncture, we may use Chinese herbs and essential oils as part of the healing and wellness process. Essential oils have been used as an alternative medicine for thousands of years. Only gaining in popularity in the last 30 or so years to be used as aromatherapy, various oils can be taken internally without harm and used as a topical to address your specific ailments.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage, as with acupuncture, has been used for thousands of years as a natural healing system. Starting in India around 3000 BC, it moved to China and Southeast Asia where it was used in combination with Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. Eventually the practice navigated globally, adopting new methodologies as it moved. It is believed to enable natural healing by improving your body’s physical and natural balance. Massage is used as an holistic approach to pain management, heal injuries, reduce anxiety and depression, and prevent illness. Commonly it is used in conjunction with other alternative, holistic, and integrative healthcare approaches.

Clients words about us

I just want to thank you, Margie of Four Seasons Wellness and Acupuncture, for helping me with my allergies…. I was skeptical going in. I’ve been going a couple of months and paid nothing compared to the price doctors charge. I’m still going for treatment and already I’m 60-70% better. Any questions feel free to contact me through Margie.

John D

Margie Wesley has helped me tremendously! When I first went to Margie I could hardly walk. I had severe plantar fasciitis and was in extreme pain. Through the use of acupuncture and e-stem I am able to walk so much better. For anyone who has suffered from PF, the benefits of acupuncture are amazing. I highly recommend Margie Wesley for her skill and dedication.

Lisa J

I would recommend Margie to everyone. The acupuncture is great. It has helped my back so much and it always lets me know when I need to come again. I also like the massage. It has helped my back and neck so very much. It’s a great place to come and relax.

Pearlie G

I as the biggest skeptic must say I am impressed and will return for further treatment next week. I recommend her acupuncture for anybody and any age person and even called one of my friends who has had back surgery and told him he must seek her treatment for all his issues!
