Your body makes its own medicine. Just as we often don’t use 100% of our brain or muscle capacity, in the same way, our body is often not using the full extent of its self-healing powers. Acupuncture stimulates these healing abilities, giving a surge to your reserves to allow your body to get the upper hand on your health problem.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and dependable medical therapies in the world. It is by nature simple, safe, and effective. Acupuncturists insert thin, solid, sterile disposable needles into specific areas of the body to help rebalance the internal environment, reduce pain and inflammation, improve psycho-psychic resonance, re-establish homeostasis, and thus treat dis-ease.
According to traditional theories, acupuncture influences the vital force, or Qi, of the body. Biomedical science has proven that acupuncture can regulate the body by many mechanisms, including stimulating the circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, endocrine, and nervous systems (for a detailed discussion of the modern western theories attempting to explain the effectiveness of acupuncture, click here).]
Because acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms it is effective for an incredibly wide range of conditions. Acupuncture is part of a whole and logical medical system that can help to manage a health problem – or even better, to help you remain pain and illness free.
