Consider Acupuncture for Your Health Condition

 

 

 

Acupuncture is one component of the ancient art of traditional Chinese medicine which involves a family of unique treatments including moxibustion, cupping, herbal &/or homeopathic therapies, dietary therapy, Tuina or Oriental massage.

 

Acupuncture has a general systemic regulatory effect, therapeutically influencing the mechanisms that when hindered, contribute to the development of disease. Today’s research has proven that acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique. Fine solid needles are inserted into neuro-reactive anatomical sites for the therapeutic purposes of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system, the endocrine, exocrine and immune systems.

 

Acupuncture is a relatively painless process. There can be minimal discomfort around the point of the needle. You may feel some numbing. However, any discomfort that lingers beyond a few moments will prompt us to remove the needle.
