Acupuncture
Acupuncture Can Be Used to Treat or Prevent Disease or Injury

Acupuncture uses thin, painless needles to stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate. Acupuncture can relieve pain, relieve the symptoms of allergies or insomnia, treat digestive, respiratory or circulatory disorders, muscular or skeletal injuries, depression or anxiety. Acupuncture can also be used to boost your immune system which will help prevent illness.

Modern medicine cannot yet explain exactly how acupuncture works. The practice is based upon ancient Chinese theories of how essential elements move throughout the body’s organs and tissues. Over time, acupuncture treatments restore the amount, quality, balance and flow of Qi (oxygen) and blood in the body providing an opportunity for the body to heal itself from disease and helps to maintain overall health and well being.

When performed by a competently trained, licensed professional, acupuncture is safe, effective and has no side effects. All licensed acupuncturists use individually packaged, sterile, disposable needles eliminating the possibility of infection or contagion between patients or practitioner. Acupuncture needles are very small, in fact, 18 acupuncture needles could fit in a single hypodermic needle.

Acupuncture has a 5,000-year history, is practiced around the world, and has been endorsed as a health care system by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
