Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine that works by stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities. Very fine sterile, one-time-use, disposable needles are placed in specific points along energetic meridians or pathways of the body. Patients may experience an initial sensation of pressure followed by deep relaxation during a treatment. Research shows that acupuncture stimulates endorphins, other neurotransmitters and brain chemicals that promote circulation, immune function and hormonal balance. Acupuncture is excellent for pain, inflammation reduction and is effective for both physical and psychological problems. One of the greatest advantages of acupuncture is the absence of undesirable side effects and the sense of well-being after treatments. Many patients receiving treatment, for example, for lower back pain will note after a few sessions a reduction in daily stress and a more balanced state of mind… these side effects are ones worth embracing.
