Our Practice Philosophy
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes a fundamentally holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of all parts of the body. By focusing on the entire patient, we seek to uncover the fundamental underlying cause or causes of illness, rather than merely treating symptoms. We addresses imbalances in the body and aim to restore harmony and health across physical, mental and emotional levels.
Our Practice Approach
We believe in caring for a whole person—not just treating a condition. Symptoms arise when the body is out of balance, physically or emotionally.
At Meridian Balance Acupuncture, we help strengthen the body’s healing power by utilizing multiple holistic therapies that work together to bring the body back into balance. When the body is in balance, there are no symptoms … only health.
Our work is to find the root cause of the imbalance causing the issue as quickly as possible, so you feel better faster. We combine the ancient healing practices of TCM, including acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, plant essential oil therapy, with modern technologies, including Functional Entrainment Allergy Techniques (FEAT) and pH Balance testing.
Meet the Practioner
Flora F. Lan, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac., Ph.D. Welcome to my practice in Virginia! I’m both a licensed acupuncturist and a Ph.D. in statistics. I have a Master’s in Acupuncture, and is certified as a Diplomate from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). My journey has been profoundly influenced by my mother, a dedicated doctor. Growing up, I spent a lot of time at my mom’s hospital, watching all kinds of medical situations unfold. That’s where my passion for health and healing first began. With statistics as my career and acupuncture as my passion, I blend both my life’s work and what I love. While my weekdays are dedicated to data, my weekends are devoted to helping others through the healing art of acupuncture. I believe that health isn’t just about numbers; it’s all about balance and overall well-being. My goal is to address both causes and symptoms, by applying acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine modalities to unblock the body’s energy channels (meridians), activate the body’s self-healing power, and restore natural balance.
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a catalyst for healing the body. Embracing Daoism principles, this very ancient system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been in practice for more than 2000 years. Acupuncture practitioners insert extremely fine, disposable needles with rounded tips just below the surface of the skin. This stimulates Qi, the body's cyclic energy flow. By balancing and redirecting Qi, an acupuncture practitioner encourages the body's nature capacity for self-healing. In turn, this improves the way the body functions.
How does acupuncture work?
Qi flows through the body along channels known as "meridians". The body contains more than 300 different acupuncture points located along these meridians. Modern science has actually shown that the body givers off slight electrical charges at these points. An imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi at these points can cause many ailments that can be caused by stress, anxiety, anger, fear, poor nutrition, and even changes in the weather. Acupuncturists concentrate on stimulating the body's energy flow by unblocking these meridians. By restoring Qi balance and flow, acupuncture allows the body to heal itself naturally, rather than through the more invasive use of synthetic drugs and injections via the bloodstream.
What conditions does acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture can treat a variety of conditions. It can affect blood pressure, circulation, the heart's rhythm and stroke volume. It can also regulate the secretion of gastric acid hormones and stimulate the production of red and white blood cells. Acupuncture has even been known to lower cholesterol. Through the stimulation of Qi, acupuncture practitioners can restore balance to the body's internal energy system, promoting energy, good health and healing.
Acupuncture is effective at treating conditions such as allergies and sensitivities, digestive and gut health issues, women's health concerns, chronic or acute pain, skin problems, stress, and anxiety.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
In most cases, acupuncture is completely painless. Occasionally, a needle may be sensed more than others, but the feeling passes very quickly. Once the needle are inserted there is no residual discomfort.
