What are the benefits of acupuncture therapy?
Western medicine has begun to recognize acupuncture as a primary care therapy in eliminating pain and disease, and strengthening the body's immune system.

A safe, non-addictive therapy with no side effects, acupuncture is very effective in treating and improving a wide range of conditions.

How does acupuncture therapy work?
Acupuncture harmonizes and balances the energy (Chi) that flows through the body. In a healthy person, energy moves smoothly along the body through continuous channels called meridians. When the normal balance is disturbed, the person suffers pain or illness.

Stimulation of the specific points along the meridians encourages the functions of the organs and creates a balanced state of energy.

Acupuncture causes the brain to release endorphins, natural substancees that reduce and control pain and the emotional stress that frequently accompanies it. Following acupunctur, people often notice an increase in energy, skin rejuvenation, deeper relaxation, and more restful sleep.

Is there discomfort during acupuncture ?
Patients are oftem surprised to find that acupuncture therapy is a relaxing, and calming experience that is accompanied by a feeling of well-being.

Acupuncture needles are very thin, about the diameter of a strand of thread, and they are inserted and removed easily. Because they are so thin, and because insertion is shallow, the therapy is virtually painless. Some peol=ple even go to sleep during the treatment.
