Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points, known as acupoints, lie along pathways called meridians through which vital energy, or "Qi," flows. Acupuncture aims to restore the natural balance and flow of Qi, promoting the body's ability to heal itself.

How Does Acupuncture Treat Conditions?

Acupuncture works by stimulating acupoints to influence the body’s physiological functions. This stimulation helps to release endorphins (the body's natural painkillers), improve blood circulation, and balance the nervous system. By targeting specific points related to various bodily functions, acupuncture can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.

What Conditions is Acupuncture Most Used For?

Acupuncture is widely used for managing pain conditions such as back pain, migraines, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.

It's also effective in treating stress-related issues like anxiety and insomnia, digestive disorders, respiratory conditions, and women's health issues, including menstrual cramps and infertility.

As a holistic approach, acupuncture not only addresses symptoms but also supports the body's overall health, making it a versatile and beneficial treatment option for many individuals.
