Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient technique used for the prevention and treatment of medical problems. It involves the insertion of tiny, sterile needles into specific points on the body. Its effectiveness has been evidenced by its use in the treatment of many serious diseases for thousands of years in China and by modern clinical research.
Modern studies have elucidated some of the mechanisms by which acupuncture works within the framework of western medicine. Acupuncture stimulation activates measurable electrical charges along the meridians mapped by the ancient Chinese. In addition, it has been observed that acupuncture stimulation activates the release of chemicals in muscles, the spinal cord, and the brain. In this way, acupuncture can be used to manipulate the balance of chemicals and hormones in the body to help its own defenses work faster and more effectively. Modern imaging techniques have also shown that acupuncture can increase blood flow to targeted parts of the body
