ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese tradition using very fine needles to stimulate meridians, or energy pathways, throughout the body. The stimulation of these meridians brings the body into its natural, balanced state. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the theory of harmonious balance. When the body is in perfect harmony, it is not ill. Through detailed diagnostics, the physician is able to address imbalances in the meridian system and correct them. 

HERBAL MEDICINE

With over 200 medicinals, Meridian is one of the largest resources for natural, healing remedies that Louisville has to offer.

We offer the highest quality raw Chinese herbs available today. Rather than carrying bottles of pre-prepared herbal formulas, raw herbs offer much more potency, and more importantly, formulas can be tailored based on specific symptoms and individual needs.

CUPPING THERAPY

Cupping therapy is a myofascial technique that utilizes suction to release tension in tight muscles and help stimulate circulation. Cups are suctioned to the body in various locations, mostly on the back, and are either left in place for a few minutes or are gently moved down the course of the meridian. This stimulates and activates the meridian, as well as penetrates the muscle layer to relieve tension. The sensation is often compared to that of a massage.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Chinese records dating back 3,000 years have documented its use for therapeutic purposes. The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments. Philosophers like Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, the benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, depression, and more.

Meridian Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine strives for a healthier community, and works toward a healthier planet. One of our objectives is to operate our clinic as eco-consciously as possible.

Our floors are made from recycled vinyl, and our walls are insulated using recycled blue jeans and cotton. High efficiency bulbs light our walls, and our herbs and tea leaves are composted after cooking. Herbal formulas are individually prepared on a table made of reclaimed oak from a barn in Lexington, Kentucky.

Meridian has chosen to be as paperless as possible in an effort to prevent using the hundreds of pounds of paper required to keep physical copies of patient records.

When paper is necessary, such as for business cards and educational materials, we choose paper made from post-consumer waste and printed with soy-based ink. Our natural cleaning products, paper towels, and other office products have been chosen for their organic and environmentally friendly properties.

We believe respecting nature is essential to running a good business and delivering premium healthcare. Harmony with the environment is a time-honored tradition at the very core of this natural medicine. The ancient adage “Be good to your body and it will be good to you” extends to the world around us: Be good to the Earth and it will be good to you.
