How Does Acupuncture Work?

We are healthy when the flow of “Qi” or vitality is precise and robust in our being. Dis-harmony and dis-ease arise when this energy flow becomes blocked or depleted. Appropriate choice of treatment and, therefore, acupuncture points along the meridians work to re-establish and maintain the energy flow. Acupuncture also restores the natural balance of our body and mind.

Treatment of various points includes the shallow insertion of hair-fine needles and/or the use of acupressure. The therapy is suitable for any age from newborn upward. It is amazingly relaxing as it helps release our blocks and stress. An intricate diagnostic system provides preventative medicine and corrects imbalances in their early stages.

Acupuncture can resolve blockages, disruptions, and imbalances that can promote sleep by lowering cortisol levels in the stress response.

Migraine

There is more evidence for acupuncture being helpful for migraines and working as a preventive treatment for migraines.

Arthritis

Acupuncture can target pain and inflammation in specific joints, such as the knees, hands, hips, or spine, reducing pain intensity.
