BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE

ACUPUNCTURE IMPROVES PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

Acupuncture has been improving the health and wellbeing of people around the world for more than 3,500 years.

Your body tries to heal itself every day through homeostasis. Acupuncture stimulates the process of self-healing in a directed way through the insertion of needles.

HOW ACUPUNCTURE WORKS

Your body is made up of a series of meridians that transport blood, oxygen, and energy throughout your body.

When you are healthy and your body is in balance, you feel great physically and mentally. When your sick or dealing with a chronic health condition, there is a blockage or series of blockages that are prohibiting your body from naturally healing itself.

With acupuncture, we identify the root cause of your issue and use tiny needles to stimulate specific points in your body. By stimulating the nerves in those areas we send a signal to your brain, which sends immune cells, hormones and increased blood circulation to the area where the needle is placed. Blood flow will increase in the organs and glands that are connected to that acupuncture point, helping heal your body from the inside out.
