Acupuncture is a safe and effective holistic medicine backed by more than two thousand years of practice and research. It is practiced worldwide both as a primary and adjunctive treatment for a wide range of conditions. While there are somewhat standard treatment protocols for many conditions, the clinical success of acupuncture is related - at least in part - to the wide range of diagnostic signs and symptoms which are taken into effect when looking at an imbalance.
The American National Institutes of Health states that acupuncture can cause multiple biological responses, including: releasing pain killing chemicals like endorphins, activating the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland to regulate hormones, altering the secretion of neurotransmitters and hormones, changing the regulation of block flow, blood pressure, and body temperature, strengthening the immune system. Modern scientific theory supposes that acupuncture activates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, stimulating the body to heal itself.
Acupuncture helps stimulate the healing process by focusing on treating the whole body, rather than isolating and treating only the specific symptoms. Acupuncture treats many conditions from digestive disorders to infertility to headaches and everything in between. Treatments involve little or no pain and are targeted to the specific needs of the patient’s body.
