Understanding Acupuncture

Acupuncture is holistic medicine that alleviates pain, reduces stress and enhances the immune system. It is a natural approach to health, combining a two thousand year old clinical tradition with modern techniques and innovation.

Acupuncture is the stimulation of nerve and reflex points in specific combinations to control symptoms and improve the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Acupuncture needles are very fine and flexible, about the width of a strand of hair. They are virtually painless. Acupuncture needles are absolutely sterile and disposable.

During Acupuncture treatment patients may feel a warm or tingling sensation, which is the movement of healing energy.
Most patients find their treatments extremely relaxing. The benefits of acupuncture are progressive. Regular treatment addresses the root issues that cause chronic recurrence of pain or other symptoms of illness.
