Heal and Thrive with Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old integrative medical practice that originated in China. It is an evidence-based medicine that has been proven by thousands of studies to benefit many conditions affecting every system of the body.
Minimally Invasive
- Acupuncture stimulates nerve-rich areas of the skin to influence body functions.
- The small needles stimulate the immune system, improve circulation, aid wound healing, and alleviate pain.
- These pathways are called Meridians and carry the invisible life-giving force called āqiā (pronounced ācheeā). When the qi flows well, a person experiences good mental and physical health.
30 to 60 Minute Sessions
- An acupuncture session lasts approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
- Medicare covers acupuncture treatments to manage lower back pain.
- Many patients find the treatments to be very relaxing due to the release of dopamine, common in acupuncture. Others may find they are energized and focused. There is no universal response.
Balance & Harmony
- Each patient is unique in their condition, treatment and response.
- Some patients may experience immediate improvement, while others may require multiple treatments before noticing a positive change.
- The most common response to acupuncture is a distinct, balanced, and harmonious feeling, along with a sense of natural well-being.
