ACUPUNCTURE
For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used to treat
diseases, facilitate healing and restore healthful vigor.
Originating in China, acupuncture is part of a Taoist
system of medicine that approaches each individual as
an interconnected sum of physical, emotional and spiritual
qualities, constantly flowing, changing and affecting
each other.
During an acupuncture treatment, ultra-thin, sterile
needles are inserted into specific points on your body.
For most people, there is little or no discomfort from
this process. In fact, many people (even those once
afraid of needles) find acupuncture so restful they
fall asleep during a treatment.
Widely practiced and accepted in Western cultures all
over the world, acupuncture has proven highly effective
for addressing a wide variety of health issues, including
but not limited to:
• Sports injuries,
plus other musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction
• Emotional imbalances
such as depression, anxiety and insomnia
• Digestive tract
complaints, such as irritable bowel syndrome and acid
reflux
• Asthma, allergies
and other immune system stresses
• Gynecological complaints
such as PMS, menopausal symptoms, dysmenorrhea
Acupuncture is also very helpful during pregnancy for
alleviating morning sickness, gestational diabetes and
sciatica. And, as a post-partum treatment, acupuncture
helps to quickly rebuild strength and restore hormonal
balance.
Whether you have a specific problem or just want to
tonify and improve your overall health, acupuncture is a safe, relaxing and effective method for facilitating
healing, restoring balance and improving vitality. |
