What Is Acupuncture & What Can It Do For You?
Acupuncture is a comprehensive healing system from Asia that is at least 2,000 years old. Acupuncture works with the energy, or Qi (pronounced Chee), that flows through the body' s skin, muscles, and organs along pathways called meridians. By stimulating specific points of the meridians, acupuncture directs energy throughout the body' s networks and unblocks the obstructions that cause pain and disharmony. Acupuncture encourages the body to restore its own equilibrium.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs bring your body into a state of homeostasis naturally. These modalities are not addictive and have few side effects. In addition to treating illness, acupuncture also offers a deep sense of relaxation and release. Studies have shown that by stimulating the body with acupuncture needles, the body releases endorphins which help to decrease pain, increase feelings of euphoria as well as increase the body's immune response.
Acupuncture treats a wide variety of ailments including chronic and acute pain, sports injuries, migraine headaches, seasonal allergies, stress, sleep disorders, digestive issues and so much more. Click here to read more about what acupuncture can treat.
