Acupuncture is a well known, ancient, Chinese Medicine-based method of treating various types of conditions. This treatment uses needles and triggers specific points on the skin. A licensed acupuncturist is required to implement this minimally invasive method and stimulate nerve-rich areas of our body. The goal is to influence the glands, tissues, organs, and other functions of the body to alleviate pain and promote natural self-healing.

The most common acupuncture method is the insertion of sterile, fine needles into the skin of a patient, although electrical stimulation, heat, and pressure may be added to enhance the effects further. Acupuncture is based on an ancient Chinese philosophy that describes the universe and the two opposing forces: yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy, but if the flow of energy is blocked, the disruption could lead to a lack of function, pain and even illness.

Acupuncture can release blocked qi or natural energy within our bodies which leads to our body’s natural healing responses. In fact, modern research has shown that acupuncture can help the nervous system, immune and endocrine systems, vascular system, and digestive system. Therefore, this method can help resolve pain, improve digestive and sleep disorders, and improve our sense of well-being.

Based on clinical studies conducted by various medical institutes, Acupuncture can treat various conditions ranging from musculoskeletal problems like neck and back pain, to migraine, nausea, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and infertility.

Acupuncture is a worthwhile natural treatment that can be used to treat many different types of ailments, illnesses and conditions. There is a reason why this ancient method has been around for more than 5000 years. Several notable pieces of research, as well as anecdotal evidence, help to uncover its benefits and positive effects on our body.

Acupuncture can help stimulate trigger points that release chemicals from our muscles, brain, and spinal cord. When these chemicals are released, it can naturally relieve pains from various parts of our body.

For back pain, the points are generally located on the middle and lower back area, as well as the back of the knees. The Acupuncturist will target these points to stimulate the nervous system and relieve back pain.

To relieve anxiety and insomnia, the target points may include the breastbone, side of our wrist, and in between our eyebrows. When these points are stimulated, a chemical called endogenous opioid peptides is released in the brain and has an analgesic and sedating effects on our body, thus giving us a more relaxing mood so we can sleep better and be less anxious with our surroundings. Regardless of how it works, acupuncture shows excellent results with little risk and side effects.
