Southampton Acupuncture & Integrated Oriental Medicine (SHAIOM) is a healing space where patients from all ages, races, cultural, religious and sexual orientations, can come to get well and stay well. At SHAIOM we base our treatments on the knowledge and teachings of Classical Chinese Medicine, Traditional Oriental Medicines and modern Western anatomy and physiology.
At SHAIOM your treatment is as uniquely designed as YOU are!
At SHAIOM we strive to balance the Body, Mind and Spirit of our patients by harmonizing their Qi, their Yin and their Yang energies.
The Qi is a composite of three energies: the Wei Qi (Defense Qi), the Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) and the Yuan Qi (Ancestral Qi). The Yin & Yang duality is the equivalent of two negative and positive charged energies that are in continous motion.
When we experience pain or discomfort, be it physically, emotionally or spiritually, it is always due to an imbalanced Qi, to an excess or a deficiency of Yin or Yang.
In order to effectively help our patients to regain homeostasis, we need to assess, evaluate and rebalance their Qi as well as their Yin and Yang equity.
A headache, for example, may come from an excess (Yang) of Qi, of blood, of too many thoughts rushing to the head; or it could come from a deficiency (Yin) of blood, oxygen or Qi not reaching to the head. Therefore we would treat the patient with two different approaches: one would be to disperse the excess: treating Yang with Yin, while the other would be to supplement the deficiency, treating Yin with Yang.
At SHAIOM we do not use set protocols to treat conditions or diseases. First we assess the patient, then make a differential diagnosis within the paradigms of Classical Chinese medicine, then we design a treatment plan. Only after these steps will we perform the appropriate treatment. At SHAIOM we address the patient not the disease. We take care of the entire Body-Mind-Spirit complex and to this end we use a wide array of Chinese and Oriental medicine modalities such as:
shiatsu, tuina, cupping, moxibustion, acupuncture, shonishin, acupressure, gua-sha, therapeutic essential oils, external herbal application, internal herbal formulas, medicinal wines and teas, therapeutic stones formulas, qi-gong, meditation and medicinal hot stone massage.
