Bonnie Connolly, Minneapolis, MN
As a nurse practitioner I was skeptical about Chinese medicine and acupuncture but now I am a believer in how these ancient traditional medical practices can have a profound positive effect on my health. Shane has a wisdom and sensitivity beyond his years. I’d highly recommend him.
Susan Brauhm – “Precision Acupuncture has the perfect setting for me to go to a deeply relaxed state so that healing can take place. Within this setting, Shane, the music selection and the acupuncture, I feel as though I leave my body and that healing takes place on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.”John Keenan – “All my stress and worries fall away and my body and mind suddenly feel calm and peaceful.”Joni Ralph – “I sought out acupuncture for Tinnitus that was quite aggravating and disrupting my sleep.

I had been told by several doctors that there was no solution other than masking devices and hearing aids to reduce the sensation. Shane changed that whole dynamic in a powerful way!

Acupuncture and the nervous system
Local nerves within ill tissues gather information about the chemistry and activities of ill tissue, then sends that information to the brain. The brain then finds the healing solution, sends nerve impulses that direct and coordinate chemistry and activity to return the ill tissue to a healthy balance. An object penetrating through the skin into the body, is seen as a crisis by the body. By needling the ill tissues, this stimulates the local nerves to increase information about the ill tissue to the brain, and increases the brains healing responses sent back to the tissue.
Allergies, Runny Nose, Itchy Eyes, Sinus Congestion.
Acupuncture has been shown to reduce these symptoms of allergies really well, frequently clearing the sinuses within 1 day of a treatment.
Acupuncture is the Oldest study and practice of Functional Neurology.
Dating back to over 250 BC, the ancient Chinese were exploring Acupuncture, which is a stimulant to the nervous system. They observed how needling affects the local area of needle placement and distal areas from the needle placement, including soft tissues and internal organs. They created maps of influences. When needling certain areas, other certain areas of the body are influenced and certain internal organs are influenced. These ancient maps correlate with modern understanding of neurological anatomy and connective tissue anatomy.

Here’s how it works:
Nothing is supposed to penetrate the skin.
When something does penetrate the skin, the sensory nerves send a message to the brain like an alarm.
The brain responds by directing and coordinating healing activities to the needled area!
