MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a method of contacting and stimulating the body’s natural healing systems to improve health and functioning. A treatment is accomplished by the insertion of very fine, single-use disposable needles into specifically chosen points on the body. Most patients report not feeling the insertion of the needles and experiencing a sense of deep relaxation while the needles are in.

The scientific explanation of acupuncture is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the body to release natural chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These substances either change the experience of pain or trigger the release of other chemicals or hormones that influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
