Acupuncture Services
Acupuncture is a component of traditional East Asian medicine that originated in China over 5,000 years ago. It is based on the theory of two complementary forces, Yin & Yang. These forces are interdependent and interconnected. We use thin, one time use, sterilized needles.
Why Acupuncture?
Living beings have a vital energy which circulates via pathways throughout the body. An imbalance or blockage can indicate disease while a complete blockage may cause pain. The body is designed to heal itself. Acupuncture helps supports that process safely, effectively and naturally.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture helps unblock any impeded pathways, which increases circulation, decreases inflammation, boosts the immune system, and encourages the body's natural healing process. Insertion into specific areas help relieve pain by releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing chemicals, and by affecting the part of the brain that governs serotonin, a brain chemical involved with mood.
