What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting tiny needles into specific points on the body in order to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Acupuncture is part of a 3,000 year old medical tradition that treats the patient as a whole, in body, mind and spirit. It is the oldest, continuously-practiced form of medicine in the world and the primary form of healthcare for 1/3 of the world’s population. The World Health Organization of the United Nations endorses acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as an effective treatment with little or no side effects for over 43 common disorders including arthritis, sinusitis, allergies, and gynecological disorders just to name a few. Acupuncture works, and it has for a long, long time.
Is acupuncture for you?
Acupuncture offers the opportunity for stillness, which is something that is desperately needed in our over-stimulated, over-scheduled lives. Acupuncture can greatly improve the quality of life for those suffering from chronic disease by elevating their mood, increasing their energy, and regulating their sleep, without creating additional side effects like pharmaceuticals do. Acupuncture is a very safe, gentle form of medicine.
