Learn More About Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive medical system to diagnose and help millions of people get well an stay healthy. An Acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints in the body. This activates the body’s Qi and promotes natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity, physical and emotional health. It also can improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. An acupuncturist will treat, using one or more modalities under the scope of practice. Other modalities include Acupressure/Tui Na, Cupping, Craniosacral Therapy Electro-Acupuncture, Gua Sha, Herbal medicine, Moxibustion, and Qi Gong.

There are at least three possible explanations for why acupuncture works:

  1. Opioid Release: During acupuncture, endorphins that are part of your body’s natural pain-control system may be released into the brain and spinal cord. This reduces pain, much like taking pain medication.
  2. Spinal Cord Stimulation: Acupuncture may stimulate the nerves in the spinal cord to release pain-suppressing neurotransmitters, known as the “gate theory.”
  3. Blood Flow Changes: Acupuncture needles may increase the amount of blood flow in the area around the needle, supplying additional nutrients or removing toxic substances or both, to promote healing.
