Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a therapeutic method that has been used to encourage natural healing for over 4000 years. It is a means of adjusting the body's life energy - "chi" through the insertion of fine needles into the body. The acupuncture needle is the width of a hair and is used with minimal to no discomfort. These needles are inserted into carefully selected acupuncture points along the channels/meridians of the body or the ear. The sterilized needles are inserted into acupuncture points and are then manipulated with a gentle pumping action or by twirling them. These motions stimulate the flow of energy and remove blockages so that the energy can be dispersed and regulated. When the energy is flowing properly throughout the body, balance is restored and this often results with improved health. Acupuncture is a very safe and effective therapy. An acupuncture treatment is approximately half an hour to one hour long. Most people can receive and benefit from an acupuncture treatment.
