Frequently Asked Questions

Acupuncture is one part of Chinese Medicine, a system of healing devised over the past 5,000 years in China. Based on thousands of years of empirical data, acupuncture points have been identified along pathways of energy that run throughout the body. If there is congestion or weakness anywhere along these pathways, a feeling of dis-ease can result.
Put simply: Acupuncture helps relax muscles and promote blood circulation in areas of stress, tension, and pain. It stimulates the release of natural opiates in the body, which relieve pain, enhance mood, and reduce stress. It improves hormonal balance, reduces inappropriate inflammatory responses in the body, and improves digestive function, which helps the body to assimilate necessary nutrients. It has an influence on the nervous system: recent studies using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) show an immediate change in brain activity in patients receiving acupuncture.
All of these effects combined make it possible for acupuncture to treat a wide range of complaints without negative side effects or interactions. Read more here.
