Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that dates back over 3,000 years. Acupuncture treatments utilize your body's own energy, called "chi", to heal itself. It is a drug free treatment that consists of the gentle insertion of thin sterile needles in specific points on the body. Each point is related to an organ system and its path of energy flow called a "meridian". Acupuncturists use a system of diagnosis to determine specific acupuncture points that will help strengthen and balance your body's energy. It improves circulation and allows the body to heal itself more quickly and completely. Acupuncture is successful in the treatment of many acute and chronic health conditions.

Studies have shown that acupuncture influences the central and peripheral nervous systems, and cause a release of endorphins from the brain, making acupuncture particularly effective in pain control. Most people are surprised by the depth of relaxation, intensity of energy, and the sense of well-being which occurs from the balancing of energy. Today, Acupuncture is utilized all over the world and continues to be a powerful healing tool for many health conditions.
