Integrated Systems Acupuncture
At Cherubino Health Center we use a form of acupuncture therapy known as Integrated Systems Acupuncture. The focus of this type of treatment is to facilitate neurological communication and balance between energetically differing parts of the body through the stimulation (activation) of acupuncture points.
In this way, Meridian imbalances are corrected and the central and peripheral nervous systems are updated. For a more thorough explanation of this approach please feel free to e-mail or phone one of our practitioners directly.

Needle-Free Acupuncture Techniques
In 1994, I (Dr. Ron Cherubino) was invited to be a member of a delegation of doctors and other health care professionals on a lecture tour to China. The plan was to visit three major cities in mainland China and engage in professional exchange with our Chinese counterparts.
We were to observe, first hand, the workings of a variety of health care facilities. In turn, we were to report back on the efficacy of integrating alternative health care into our mainstream hospitals and other health care facilities back here in the USA.
During the weeks that we spent touring the hospitals, my perspective on acupuncture and the Chinese art of healing was dramatically changed. My primary orientation to acupuncture had been one in which needles were the treatment of choice. What I found, especially in the larger institutions, was a variety of non-needle instruments being used to treat traditional acupuncture points. Since that time, my new perspective has led me to integrate the use of several non-needle instruments into my nervous system based approach here at the center.
Acupuncture Principles
Acupuncture is said to be 3000 to 5000 years old. The basic principles involve a unique overall view of the human body and its relationship to its surroundings. The Chinese speak of harmony, which is attained when balance exists within and around the body. Harmony and health go hand in hand. Chi, the Chinese word for energy, must be in proper balance in order for health to be present.
My Americanized explanation of acupuncture might be helpful. It is as follows: The human body is electrical in nature. The health of all parts of the body depends on a balanced supply of electrical energy, which is transmitted through nerves and other cells. The Chinese have determined that this energy flows through pathways known as meridians. If you've ever seen an acupuncture mannequin, the meridians are depicted as lines drawn on the surface of the model.
Meridian/acupuncture points overlap and correspond to specific neurological pathways. There are various ways, some of which are quite complex, of evaluating these energy pathways and identifying imbalances between them. The practice of acupuncture utilizes a variety of methods to restore balance between meridians, ranging from the application of light touch to the use of electrical instrumentation on acupuncture points.
We have seen outstanding results with the use of these instruments.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-Acupuncture involves treatment of specific acupuncture and trigger points on the body with small (milliamp/microamp) electrical impulses. These electrical impulses are applied by using specifically designed instruments which accurately locate and effectively treat specific acupuncture points. Treatment is safe and painless, making it appropriate for use with patients of any age. In our center, we have found that the therapeutic benefits resulting from the use of electro-acupuncture consistently exceed those achieved with the use of needles.
Laser Acupuncture
At Cherubino Health Center, we have implemented the use of low power cold quartz lasers in acupuncture and auricular therapy treatments. Our results have been very favorable in the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions. The use of laser light is safe, painless and effective without the risks and complications associated with the use of needles. (Learn more - laser acupuncture brochure)
