Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine modality which uses fine needle insertion into the body at specific points with the goal of creating a beneficial response such as pain relief, muscle relaxation, change in organ metabolism, and neurological stimulation. Acupuncture may stimulate an immune response to induce anti-inflammatory properties to result in pain-relief and physical healing. The acupuncturist uses combinations of acupuncture points to elicit the desired effects.

Acupuncture is therefore beneficial for treating pain, inflammation, muscle tension, muscle spasm, neurologic injuries, anxiety, chronic injury to joints, chronic muscle and tendon strain, post-operative discomfort, and physiologic imbalances.
