Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine filiform needles into specific points on the body with the aim of relieving pain and for therapeutic purposes. According to Traditional Chinese Medical theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, the vital energy, flows. In Traditional Chinese Medicine when these meridians are lacking, to full, or blocked the body becomes diseased.

Acupuncture's aim is to create a harmonious flow within the body's meridians to bring about vibrant health. It has been found that acupuncture directly effects the thalamus of the brain promoting a lasting analgesic effect. Acupuncture has also been show to increase nitric oxide levels in treated regions, resulting in increased local blood circulation. This leads to reduced inflammation and pain and shortened healing times.
