Acupuncture is done by using hair-thin needles and inserting them into the skin at the location of specific muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joints, and nerve roots or branches. The purpose of doing this is to increase blood circulation in specific regions of the body, bringing more nutrients, minerals, and oxygen to local tissues. Modern research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the nervous system, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular system, and digestive system. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to resolve pain, improve sleep, digestive function, boost the immune system, regulate the nervous system, and more. It is through these physiologically modulating effects of acupuncture, that the body is more capable of effectively drawing on its own healing capabilities at a fuller capacity.The patient may feel nothing at all upon insertion, and occasionally, very slight to mild discomfort that passes in seconds. Acupuncture has been practiced and refined for more than 2,500 years, and remains a relevant and reliable medical modality. The World Health Organization lists a large number of symptoms, conditions and diseases that have been shown in controlled trials to be treated effectively by acupuncture. Please see the list below, and our sources at the bottom of the page.If you're wondering if acupuncture is right for you and have more questions, call us today and set up an introductory consultation!
