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
