Welcome to Burton Moomaw Acupuncture Welcome to Burton Moomaw Acupuncture
located in Boone, North Carolina.
Health is the natural state of the human being. As we live life this state is challenged by accidents, emotional insults, nutritional challenges, and environmental factors. In a healthy state our bodies have an inherent ability to heal themselves. When we become stressed, physically or emotionally, this ability is pushed to its limit and we may become sick. Acupuncture is a medical practice based on traditional Chinese medicine which has been practiced in Asia for at least 3, 000 years. It is used to maintain health as well as treat acute and chronic illness. As an acupuncturist in our modern era, I am excited to experience the very real healing that can occur in patients when the ancient principles of diagnosis and treatment are employed. As your acupuncturist I will always do my best to meet your needs in a caring, professional way. What Can Acupuncture Treat?
Chinese Medicine is a complete healthcare system. It can treat acute and chronic physical illness and emotional problems. Any health issue has the potential to respond to acupuncture! This is a complimentary medicine, one that can complete the care of conventional medicine by helping patients that do not respond well to conventional therapies. The World Health Organization has identified many conditions that respond to Acupuncture. The following is a partial list.
There are few acupuncturists who are specialists. The need to treat patients as whole people makes specialization difficult. Burton makes an ongoing effort to refine his knowledge of medicine in his studies with Dr. Tran Viet Dzung, a world famous acupuncturist from France. Dr. Tran was a long-term collaborator with Dr. Nguyen Van Nghi, a seminal figure in bring acupuncture to the west. Dr.Tran teaches the concept of the fusion of western and eastern medicines, of understanding eastern qualitative concepts through the fantastic quantitative observations of western science. His seminars consist of examining illnesses first from the western perspective, then creating a comparison with the eastern approach. Burton has completed the following courses with Dr. Tran.
Conditions Burton has treated with excellent, lasting results are:
If you have questions about your condition I offer a free 15- minute consultation for evaluation. Patients who continue with acupuncture “tune-ups” several times per year, after help with more severe issues, report that they feel better, get sick less often, and maintain a greater sense of well-being. Your body benefits from a tune-up just like your car benefits from a regular oil change and tune-up. The most elegant practice of medicine is prevention of illness. |
