how acupuncture works
Acupuncture stems from traditional ancient Chinese medicine that has been around for over 3000 years. Since its inception, traditional Chinese medicine has explained that acupuncture aims to balance energy flow or life force (referred to as ‘qi’ – pronounced “chi”).
This non-invasive treatment involves using paper-thin sterilized medical needles to help with pain and discomfort. It relies on the body’s natural pain relievers and receptors to improve your overall health.
Placing these needles at specific points of the body stimulates the central nervous system, which releases the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. It’s excellent for relieving chronic pain and can target other conditions.
The treatment itself is rather relaxing. You will be lying face down for 10-20 minutes, and 5-30 needles are used during the process, depending on the area being treated and the targeted condition.
By relying on your body’s natural ability to stave off pain and discomfort, you can help yourself heal and relieve pain in your bones, joints, and muscles.

main benefits of acupuncture
headaches
If you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines, acupuncture is an excellent treatment option. Acupuncture can reduce the frequency of headaches for up to six months after receiving treatment. Traditional medicine explains this as removing negative energy from the body, with the main driver being your natural pain receptors responding.
improve organ function
The pain from osteoarthritis can make it hard to walk and do things you used to. This debilitating condition often affects the knees, hands, lower back, neck, hips, and feet. By seeking out acupuncture as a treatment option for osteoarthritis, anti-inflammatory responses can be seen, restoring pain-free movement to your joints and bones.
back pain
Acupuncture is helpful for many people who experience lower back pain. It often provides short-term, temporary relief. With regular treatments, the effectiveness can be increased and allow you to live a more pain-free life. Regardless of your current condition, acupuncture offers tremendous benefits.
carpal tunnel syndrome
If you are somebody who types a lot or engages in many repetitive wrist motions, you may notice symptoms of carpal tunnel eventually develop. This includes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands or arms. Acupuncture has proven to be an effective alternative to medical treatments for mild to moderate carpal tunnel conditions.
