Acupuncture

Acupuncture is also used by in this office if required or if requested. Acupuncture, simply stated, is a health science which is used to successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body.

Acupuncture has it’s roots deeply planted in China. In fact, authorities agrees the science is between 5,000 and 7,000 years old.

At first glimpse, acupuncture appears strange, as it’s primary notoriety is the utilization of needles placed in the skin at various locations to relieve pain or affect a body part. There are many other ways to stimulate an Acupoint other than a needle, just as there are many different strokes used in swimming.

Many practitioners use electric stimulation, laser beam or pressure massage to treat an Acupoint. The principle of acupuncture does not change, only the technique.

Acupuncture’s goal is to restore normalcy to the body’s energy balance by utilizing a combination of acupoints located in the fourteen meridians. Medical research continues in this country and others to attempt to explain in western scientific terms what the ancient Chinese seventy centuries earlier described. Today, many theories have been postulated as to why acupuncture is so effective in pain control. However, as more discoveries have been made, more research is indicated.

The list of conditions that respond to acupuncture is too long to include here. Some of the conditions treated in this clinic include arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, sinus problems, headaches, nerve pain, stomach problems and addictions, just to name a few.
