Acupuncture

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine approach; it is based on the idea that the body’s life energy should be flowing well and going to all the right places. In this case a person would experience good mental and physical health. When there is a blockage or disturbance in the flow of the life energy, or it is flowing incorrectly due to an excess or deficiency of the life energy, that would result in health issues.

Acupuncture restores the energy flow by triggering specific points on the skin with the help of fine needles. That helps with pain management, stress relief, and improves physical and emotional well-being.

In Western Medicine this process is explained by the release of two hormones.  Endorphins which are natural pain-relieving chemicals, and dopamine which has a relaxing effect.
