Acupuncture 101

Q:  What can acupuncture do for me?  What types of conditions is it helpful for?

A:  Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and dates back nearly 4000 years.  There are theories and facts about how acupuncture works, from improving the flow of energy (‘qi’) in the body, to measured mechanisms including improved blood flow, release of natural painkillers, muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and stimulation of the body’s ability to heal. 

This makes acupuncture useful for a wide variety of conditions.  Physical, mental, and emotional conditions can be improved or cured with acupuncture and adjunctive naturopathic treatments.  Some of these conditions include anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, digestive concerns, arthritis, sports injuries, chronic pain, and stress management.
