Benefits of Acupuncture

The practice of acupuncture is integral to the ancient healing system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which maintains that the life force of energy, known as "Qi", flows throughout the body in energy pathways known as "meridians". The proper flow of "Qi" is vital to good health, and any imbalance of this flow results in pain, dysfunction and ultimately disease. Acupuncture corrects and balances the flow of "Qi," thus promoting the body's natural and healthy functions and treating the individual as an intricately interwoven whole of mind, body, and spirit.

Acupuncture, in practice, is the insertion of hair-thin needles which are painlessly inserted into specific points along the "meridians" to restore the body’s balance of energy. Each of the hundreds of points possesses specific and unique functions which Western science has proven that at these locations there is an abundance of blood vessels, nerve and lymph tissue and a change in the electrical conductivity of the skin. However, although Western medicine is able to locate and to stimulate and/or suppress electrical impulses within the body, it is unable to regulate it in the profound way acupuncture can. Acupuncture works with the body, strengthening and balancing the energy. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal more quickly and completely.

Receiving acupuncture is a unique and powerful healing experience which focuses on resolving the root cause of the disease or ailment. This Eastern approach provides patients with much more than a temporary relief, encompassing many benefits for the individual. It is extremely relaxing and can bring clarity of mind, release of tension and renewed physical vitality. Patients will also learn how to better care for themselves and pay attention to their body's signals. Most importantly, you will discover the tremendous healing potential that exists within and the power you have to create lasting vitality and wellness in your life.
