What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a method of promoting the body to begin natural healing, improving health, and increasing normal function. This is done by applying tiny needles to certain acupuncture points. The majority of clients remark that the acupuncture process is virtually painless.

The traditional Chinese explanation for acupuncture is that channels of energy flow in patterns through the body. These energy channels, also called meridians, are like rivers of energy flowing through the body to regulate every aspect of our physiology. An obstruction in the movement of these energy affects all the Meridians.therefore affecting functions of the body.

The scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points prompts the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either alter or decrease the pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system.
