Acupuncture Services
Acupuncture is a process by which tiny sterile disposable needles are inserted into targeted areas of the body in order to activate the body's energy and blood to flow. Not only can acupuncture treat existing illnesses like the cold or the flu, but even before the body needs healing, acupuncture services can help the body maintain a healthy immune system in order to fight off illness.
How Acupuncture Services Help Your Energy Flow
The body experiences balance (homeostasis) when its energy flows smoothly. This energy flows within our muscles, along with the joints, bones, and other specific organs. Acupuncture helps the process of energy flow by targeting areas on the body where the energy is easiest to reach. When the tiny acupuncture needles are gently stimulated, like flipping a light switch, energy is encouraged to flow without obstruction.

How Acupuncture Works Inside the Body
The act of placing needles inside strategic points of the skin is a stimulus that has not only been studied by the Chinese for thousands of years, but has also been scientifically proven by MRI scans to produce a significant response in the body. The brain responds to the placement of the needles and the central nervous system is stimulated to release chemicals that relieve pain and hormones that help the body regulate itself. This means that if you are injured or ill, acupuncture can help your body recuperate, because acupuncture works with the body's natural response to heal.

The Science of Energy Flow
Understanding the Foundation of Acupuncture
The Qi Principle
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, health is a manifestation of balance. We believe that when the body is internally balanced and in harmony with the external environment, energy flows smoothly throughout to nourish all organs and tissues. This energy, known as Qi, is the vital force that sustains life.
Scientific Response
The act of placing needles inside strategic points of the skin is a stimulus that has not only been studied by the Chinese for thousands of years, but has also been scientifically proven by MRI scans to produce a significant response in the body. The brain responds to the placement of the needles and the central nervous system is stimulated to release chemicals that relieve pain and hormones that help the body regulate itself.
Clinical Harmony
By adjusting and stimulating the flow of energy through acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Chinese massage (Tui na) we stimulate the body's natural healing ability to maintain health and protect against disease. This holistic approach ensures that your body exists in harmony with its environment without the environment causing the body to experience illness and discomfort.
