Why Ric Valentine Acupuncture?  

One reason why Ric Valentine Acupuncture has been so successful is due to the unique style of acupuncture Ric Valentine practices at the clinic.

Most acupuncture clinics in the United States use a method where needles are inserted directly into the area of pain. The problem with this approach is that one always runs the risk of aggravating the pain and the results are not consistent or reliable. Ric Valentine is skilled in a different style of acupuncture. This method is over 2,500 years old and is derived from the "I Ching," one of the oldest books in the world. This method has several names such as: *I Ching Acupuncture,* *The Balance Method,* or *Distal Point Acupuncture.* Regardless of the name, the effects are nothing less than miraculous.

The acupuncture points used are on the scalp and ears, from the elbows to the fingers, and from the knees to the toes. Consequently, the patient never has to take off their clothes and the treatments are efficient, comfortable and extremely effective.

Pain relief usually occurs in seconds and long lasting relief over a series of treatments is at least 80%.
