Description

An alternative medical therapy that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the insertion of thin (like two strands of human hair thin) needles into specific areas and trigger points in the body to bring about an overall state of balance.

From a Chinese perspective, acupuncture works to bring balance to the energy -Qi ("chee"), blood, yin and yang. When one of these is either deficient or in excess signs and symptoms show up like pain, fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, and/or menstrual irregularities signaling something isn't balanced in the body. Symptoms like these are your body's way of communicating with you that something isn't right and needs attention. Will you listen?

From a western medical perspective, acupuncture works to bring the body back to homeostasis or a state of stability. It does this by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and slowing the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). When stress is introduced to the body the fight or flight response is activated. Being in this state continuously can cause high blood pressure, less circulation to the digestive and reproductive organs, trouble losing or gaining weight, and muscle tension. By stimulating the parasympathetic or "rest and digest" nervous system, acupuncture can help reduce blood pressure, slow the heart rate, improve blood flow to the digestive and reproductive organs, and release tension and pain in the muscles.
