New treatment technique: Neoclassical meridian treatment according to Dr. Slate Burris

At my practice, I’m excited to offer Neoclassical Meridian treatment—a modern and innovative take on traditional acupuncture, designed to work with your body’s natural energy systems in a gentle and effective way. This approach was developed by Dr. Slate Burris based on empirical data and extends the wisdom of the traditional five-element model (fire, earth, metal, water, wood) by adding a sixth element—“ether” or “heaven”—to address imbalances at an even deeper level of what Dr. Burris calls the body’s “energetic architecture”. 

Using a hands-on technique called palpation, the practitioner gently presses specific areas like the legs and abdomen to identify sensitive spots where energy may be out of balance. Your feedback helps guide the treatment, ensuring it’s precise and focused. What’s truly remarkable is that often only a single point needs to be stimulated to create a ripple effect, restoring balance and relieving symptoms quickly—sometimes in just minutes! 

Unlike traditional acupuncture, this method doesn’t use needles. Instead, tools like the teishin (a metal tool that doesn’t puncture the skin) and warming moxa are used, making it completely non-invasive and comfortable. 

Neoclassical Acupuncture is not only fast-acting but also holistic, addressing multiple concerns at once. Whether it’s sleep troubles, digestion, or stress, this treatment focuses on the root cause to promote lasting well-being.
