What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

How Acupuncture Helps You

Reduces Pain

Pain relief is one of the top benefits of acupuncture. It can help reduce tension in the back and neck and alleviate pain in the spinal joints. Acupuncture is a drug-free way to address common pain complaints and reduce inflammation in these areas.

Relieves Headaches & Migraines

Patients struggling with chronic headaches and migraines who do not want to have prescription medications as part of their treatment protocol find tremendous relief with acupuncture treatments.

Several studies reported in the National Institutes of Health found that acupuncture treatment was effective in reducing both the frequency and severity of headaches among chronic sufferers. It may also be more effective than pain-reducing medications in treating tension headaches.

Restoring energy balance and triggering nervous system responses is a key factor in lowering the body’s stress reaction. Acupuncture lowers stress hormone levels and improves mood to help reduce feelings of anxiety and increase feelings of happiness.
