About Acupuncture
|
|
|
Acupuncture is the oldest method of healing, having been practiced in China for almost four thousand years. It is a technique of diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of illnesses and painful syndromes by inserting disposable, sterile, hair-fine needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. It activates the release of endorphins to alleviate pain, and by affecting the autonomic nervous system, it promotes relaxation.

 | Among the most common conditions for which acupuncture is used are: back and neck pain, sciatica, on the job injuries, sprains/strains, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder/knee pain, foot pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches/migraine, stress, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, PMS, menopause, sinusitis, allergies, addiction, and digestive problems. | | | One of the greatest advantages of acupuncture is the absence of side effects. Most people not only feel minimal or no discomfort, but also report an increase in energy and a general sense of well being after the treatment. | | | To get more information about acupuncture or to find out if acupuncture would help your specific condition, send us an email or call us at (310) 749-6971. |
