Acupuncture: Reduces pain, accelerates healing.

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating tiny (hair like) filiform needles into "acupuncture points" located all over the surface of the body. It's goal is to restore health and well-being, e.g. treating pain and diseases. Acupuncture points are access point into the body's electrical grid. Balancing the grid reduces pain and restores body function.

Originating in China some 5000 years ago, acupuncture is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, and Korean acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world.

What does my visit consist of?

Sterile disposable single-use needles are placed at selected acupuncture points to stimulate the movement of qi. The needle itself is a solid (filiform) thin stainless steel needle about the same diameter as a hair. Deep relaxation is usually experienced during and after the treatment. Increased energy and a sense of vitality can also be experienced after the treatment. Anywhere from one to twenty needles may be used in a single treatment.
