When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy (Qi), flows like rivers along pathways, or <strong>meridians<\/strong>, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang balanced. However, the flow of energy can sometimes be blocked, like water getting stuck behind a dam. A disruption in the flow of energy can lead to illness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">From a western perspective, acupuncture likely works by stimulating the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to release chemicals called <strong>neurotransmitters<\/strong> and <strong>hormones<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before any acupuncture appointment, <span class=\"highlight\">prepare by eating light and avoid caffeine<\/span>. This is important because acupuncture stimulates various pressure points to rebalance your energy flow (Qi), which may cause weakness without proper sustenance, and caffeine acts as a stimulant.<\/p>\n<p>During the first visit, we\u00a0take a detailed medical history, extensive pulse analysis, gain a thorough understanding of your goals, and examine your system as a whole. Please bring any history of medications, diagnostic tests, MRIs, as this will help with a holistic assessment of your condition.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Wan-Mei Woo takes an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to your treatment that may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">Acupuncture<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">Moxibustion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">Heat Therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">Electric Stimulation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">Acupuressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">GuaSha<\/span><\/li>\n<li>and an <span class=\"highlight\">Herbal and Nutritional Consultation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally, a session may take a little more than an hour for the initial visit, and about 45 minutes for follow-ups.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h4>Acupuncturist<\/h4>\n<h4>Olivia Wan-Mei Woo<\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/v8HtL\" target=\"_blank\">41-51 77th Street<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/v8HtL\" target=\"_blank\">Elmhurst, NY 11373<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Tel: 718-458-6391<\/h4>\n<h4>Em: <a href=\"mailto:drwoo@outlook.com\" target=\"_blank\">DrWoo@outlook.com<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5><strong>ACCESSIBLE BY<\/strong>:<\/h5>\n<h5>E, F, R, M, 7 train lines<\/h5>\n<h5>(74 St, Roosevelt Ave Station)<\/h5>\n<h5>10 Minutes from Manhattan by train<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Private Parking Available<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/wan-mei-woo-acupuncture-and-herbal-center-elmhurst\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dyn.yelpcdn.com\/extimg\/fsc\/EudETQLMgYztiPacmGHLHA.png\" alt=\"Wan-Mei Woo Acupuncture &amp; Herbal Center\" width=\"125\" height=\"54\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4><a title=\"Acupuncturist, Olivia Wan-Mei Woo's Newsletter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.acufinder.com\/pract_email_signup.php?practitioner=60717\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"highlight\">CLICK HERE<\/span> to sign up for our\u00a0newsletter for free monthly health advice<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to ChinaHerb.net, home of Olivia Wan-Mei Woo, a highly experienced and amongst NYC&#8217;s best acupuncturist.
