Acupuncturist
Carolyn Sullivan is an acupuncturist practicing in Stoughton, MA and Randolph, MA. Dr. Sullivan evaluates and treats patients based on the concepts of oriental medicine. Acupuncturists complete their evaluations by getting a detailed patient history and looking at the tongue and pulse to formulate a diagnosis. Then, they place very fine acupuncture needles into specific points on the body. Stimulating these points eliciting qi flow is how Dr. Sullivan treats the patient's condition. There are other methods of treatment if needles are not preferred. Many of the body's systems respond to acupuncture, and it can treat physical pain as well as emotional stress.

You are correct that acupuncture is great for helping to relieve stress and headaches, among many other things. Most people liken the puncture of a needle to a mosquito bite. You will feel a little prick, but it's very quick and virtually painless. The needles are much smaller than hyperdermic needles and are inserted in the muscles and fascia, a dense connective tissue. The needles are then manipulated to activate the body's energy source, or qi. Tapping into that energy source is where the magic of acupuncture lies!!! Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years for a reason....it works!!!
