Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a very old medical art. It has been in use for over 2000 years in the Far East. Medical acupuncture is the term used to describe acupuncture performed by a doctor trained and licensed in Western medicine who has also had thorough training in acupuncture. Medical Acupuncturists can use Western or Eastern medicine (acupuncture), or a combination of both as the need arises, to treat an illness.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles into points that cause the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals change how the body experiences pain. The improved energy and chemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing abilities, and promotes physical and emotional well-being. |
