ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is one of the main pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the insertion of single use, stainless steel needles into acupuncture points, to balance the body’s vital energy or Qi. Qi moves through various pathways known as meridians. Meridians correspond to vascular pathways, fascial planes, and nerve pathways.

Through a biomedical perspective, Acupuncture works by stimulating deep brain pathways to put your body in a parasympathetic state where the body’s ability to heal is enhanced. Acupuncture provides myofascial release to muscles, increases circulation to local injured areas to speed up healing, and initiates a release of the body’s natural painkillers.

Acupuncture can effectively and safely treat a wide variety of conditions and concerns, including, but not limited to: sleep problems, depression, anxiety, pregnancy symptoms, seasonal allergies, musculoskeletal pain, addictions, menstrual irregularities, and digestive issues.
