What is Acupuncture?


The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. With acupuncture treatment, you can correct the imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin.

The practice of acupuncture to treat identifiable pathophysiological (disease) conditions in American medicine was rare until the visit of President Richard M. Nixon to China in 1972. Since that time, there has been an explosion of interest in the United States and Europe in the application of the technique of acupuncture to Western medicine.

Acupuncture is a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical locations on or in the skin by a variety of techniques. There are a variety of approaches to diagnosis and treatment in American acupuncture that incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. The most thoroughly studied mechanism of stimulation of acupuncture points employs penetration of the skin by thin, solid, metallic needles, which are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.

Acupuncture for Weight Loss


Many specialists believe that acupunture for weight loss can help by increasing metabolism, reducing appetite, lowering stress, and affecting the part of the brain that feels hunger. Acupuncture treatments for weight loss commonly target areas of the body that can create body imbalance that leads to weight gain.

These parts of the body include the liver, spleen, kidney, thyroid gland, and endocrine system. If any of these organs malfunction, it can create an imbalance in the body that can lead to weight gain. During acupunture treatment for weight loss, these areas of the body are targeted to make sure there is a balance of body functions flowing properly throughout the body.

Acupuncture for Back Pain


Studies show that many people who have suffered from chronic back pain have found relief through acupuncture. Nearly 8 out of every 10 people will have low back pain at some point in their life.

Acupunture for back pain can be an effective tool to relieve pain in your lower or upper back. By stimulating the central nervous system, acupuncture treatment may trigger the release of chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals can have a positive effect to reduce pain or produce bodily changes that can promote a sense of well-being.
