Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a common way to treat acute and chronic pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, infertility, and many other symptoms and disorders. This practice reduces inflammation, regulates spiritual, emotional, and physical balance, and improves energy and overall well-being.
Practiced for several thousand years in Asia, acupuncture is the stimulation of points on the body with fine, flexible, sterile needles. Vital energy, or qi (“chee”), flows along an intricate system of energy pathways in each living body. An acupuncturist will check the movement of qi in each patient’s body and adjust its flow during treatment sessions to encourage a patient’s own body to learn how to balance and regulate itself. Along these pathways lie the points that are traditionally needled, heated, or massaged to improve our comfort and health.
Life’s challenges can sometimes cause imbalance and hinder the body’s natural ability to heal, causing discomfort, pain, and other internal disorders.
Inserting very thin needles into the skin at strategic points on the body will unblock that energy, allowing it to flow freely and restore balance.
Scientific research shows that acupuncture can offer numerous benefits. This practice is one of the most viable and effective alternative methods for healing.
