Acupuncture is the process of inserting disposable thin needles to
specific points of the body which stimulate the brain to release
natural "feel good" chemicals and neutralizes illness.
Acupuncture works well in conjunction with other types of healthcare.
Alternative and Western medicine are not substitutes for each other, they
are complementary. Each system of medicine has its own areas of
greatest effectiveness. Whereas Western Medicine may heroically
rescue us when a crisis arises, Chinese medicine can protect us and
ward off disease by strengthening us and also helping with both recovery
and side effects of treatment. It excels in: Headache and Migraines,
Pain, Trigeminal neuralgia, Muscle pain and weakness,
Anxiety and Depression, Backache or pain, Sports injuries,
Fatigue and Insomnia, Smoking addiction, Nervousness and
Arthritis.
Acupuncture can decrease cravings for food, drugs and alcohol.
It can reduce withdrawal symptoms, relieve tension and help
achieve deep relaxation.
Most of the theory of acupuncture was developed thousands of years
ago by ancient Chinese physicians.
The central concept is that living things contain an internal life force
known as Chi which circulates throughout the body in channels
known as meridians. When Chi is blocked anywhere in the body,
pain or dysfunction occurs.
A more scientific explanation of acupuncture is that the stimulation of
certain trigger points on the body by acupuncture needles prompts the
body to release certain hormones and chemicals that can reduce pain,
regulate the endocrine system, and calm the nervous system.
