Acupuncture is based on a system of points and meridians which has a rich history dating back thousands of years from ancient China. Through stimulating different points throughout the body, acupuncture is able to tap into the body’s own natural healing ability. Recent studies how shown how acupuncture affects the limbic system (the part which controls sensation of pain) and causes release endorphins and also increases blood flow and circulation to different areas of the body.
Needles are placed distally to the area pain and all treatments can be performed while the patient is in a seated position or lying down. The only parts of the body needed are the lower arms, legs, and the head. The body begins to correct the root of the problem from the very first treatment.
