Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with fine needles to stimulate energy pathways in the body.
By stimulating these pathways, acupuncture helps restore balance and promote overall wellbeing. The stimulation of specific points on the body can address physical pain, improve sleep patterns and reduce stress. Acupuncture has been proven to be an effective form of holistic health care, allowing you to take control of your health and feel your best.
Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has approximately 350-400 primary acupuncture points that exist across every system cataloged by practitioners today. The “Acupoints” on these pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced “chee”) through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, correct the imbalances that cause disease, and thereby improving health.
Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a variety of conditions, just to name a few:
Chronic Pain – Back Pain, Neck Pain, Sciatica, Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel
