Understanding Acupuncture

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in the body to influence the flow of energy. According to traditional Chinese medicine, blockages or imbalances in the flow of Qi can lead to health issues. By inserting needles into these points, acupuncture helps clear blockages and restores proper energy flow, which promotes healing and alleviates symptoms.

Conditions Treated with Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, such as the following:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Headaches or migraines
• Arthritis
• Sciatica
• Neuropathy
• Allergies

What to Expect During Your Appointment

During an acupuncture session, we will first discuss your health concerns and goals with you. You will then lie down comfortably while our chiropractors insert fine needles into specific points on your body. The needles are generally very thin and may cause a slight sensation, but they should not be painful. The session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, during which you may feel a sense of relaxation. After the needles are removed, we will discuss any observations or recommendations for follow-up care.

Combining Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care

Acupuncture and chiropractic care are often used together to enhance overall health and address various conditions. Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system, while acupuncture targets the body's energy flow. Combining these approaches can provide a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both structural and energetic aspects of health.
