Well known in alternative medicine, Acupuncture with its long history as an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is recognized as an effective treatment for many medical complaints and conditions. Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body using thin needles.
Acupuncture points are interpreted as places where nerves and muscles can be stimulated by increasing blood flow, triggering the activity of our own body's natural painkillers, and stimulating the body’s own self-healing abilities.
Acupuncture improves your health by restoring balance to biological energy called Qi. Qi circulates freely through your body, following pathways called meridians that are associated with each organ system.
When this natural energy system becomes blocked, you experience stress, disease, illness, and pain. Acupuncture needles placed in precise locations restore the normal energy flow, which allows your body to use its inherent ability to heal and return to health.
In addition to balancing Qi, acupuncture stimulates nerve activity, which causes your brain to release endorphins and neurotransmitters. As a result, acupuncture relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and strengthens your immune system.
Acupuncture uses very thin needles that are flexible and tapered. Their unique shape allows the needles to slide smoothly, so they don’t cause discomfort as they’re carefully placed at precise acupuncture points associated with targeted body areas.
Your highly-trained and licensed acupuncture practitioner may boost healing by warming or twirling the needles or using the needles to transmit a low-intensity electrical signal. One session takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the number of needles inserted and how long they stay in place.
