ACUPUNCTURE
Balance Your Body
Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine - an established form of health care that has been in use for over 2,000 years.
The focus of treatment is on the individual, not the illness, and all symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Acupuncture not only provides pain relief but also enables the body to use its own healing power to restore health and well-being. Acupuncture can be beneficial for a variety of health conditions including headache, insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders, infertility and women's health issues.

DOES IT HURT?
No. Acupuncture needles are so fine, about as thin and flexible as a human hair, that most people don’t feel them being inserted. The majority of people feel deeply relaxed while the needles are in place, which can continue well after they are removed.
HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?
Acupuncture is proven to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and decrease pain and stress to stimulate your body’s own natural healing mechanism. It can also regulate the nervous system and stimulate the release of endorphins and opioids in the brain. The traditional explanation is that acupuncture works by affecting Qi (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy to restore balance and wellness to the body.
DOES IT WORK?
Yes, acupuncture has been around for thousands of years for one reason: it works. It is one of the fastest growing fields in health care due to its continued success in reducing stress, improving energy, and relieving pain.
