WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture encourages the body to heal naturally and improve functionality. It does involve the insertion of very thin needles into precise points on the skin and the application of heat or electrical stimulation, but don’t worry, you won’t feel a thing. Your acupuncture specialist will target the specific points along the meridian pathways using needles and sometimes lasers on stimulated areas. This method of treatment reduces pain and promotes tissue healing in the body.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

Practitioners in ancient China believed that channels of energy ran in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels called meridians, they said, are like rivers flowing through the body that irrigate and nourish your body's tissues. Any blockage in the flow of these energy rivers acts as a dam or barrier amassing energy disproportionately in certain areas. Problem areas such as these in the meridians can be corrected by needling the acupuncture points.

The acupuncture needles break down the dams, and re-establish regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and generally promote better circulation of energy through the meridians.

The more recent scientific definition of acupuncture is that needling the acupuncture points prompts the nervous system to secrete chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, altering the subject's awareness of pain. The process might also promote the release of other chemicals and hormones, swaying the body's own internal regulating system in a given desired direction. This stimulus is proven to improve your body's natural healing abilities, and to promote physical and emotional well-being.

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE?

Medical acupuncture is a procedure which targets three general areas: pain relief, promotion of health and well-being, and proactive prevention and treatment of various medical conditions.
