Medical acupuncture uses very fine needles at precise points in the body to promote natural healing and improve functioning. Although relatively new to Western culture, acupuncture has been an integral component of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years.
Our bodies are supported by a vital energy system. This energy flows through pathways called meridians. According to traditional Chinese Medicine theory, obstructions in these pathways back up the flow of energy in one part of the body and restrict it in others. This blockage creates imbalance. Acupuncture needles inserted at specific points along the meridians unblock obstructions and restore balance.
Modern science explains that needles stimulate the nervous system to release chemicals that alter the sensation of pain or encourage the body's own healing powers.
While many people associate acupuncture with pain control, the World Health Organization recognizes its effectiveness in treating a wide range of medical problems, including:
In addition, clinical studies have shown that acupuncture can be helpful for arthritis, dental and facial pain, digestive disorders, fatigue, fibromyalgia, menopausal symptoms, nausea and fatigue associated with chemotherapy, smoking cessation, urinary dysfunction, and childhood conditions such as ADD, anxiety and sports injuries.
