Acupuncture

Acupuncture is so much more than just needles jammed in your body. Acupuncture began in China with the
use of sharpened items, such as stones and bones, thousands of years ago. Acupuncture in modern offices is performed a lot like that of ancient China, but now implements the use of magnets, pulses, and lasers. 

Over time, it became accepted that our energy flow (known as “chi”) could be redirected along pathways called meridians. Acupuncture points tend to be the exact spots where specific nerves, muscles, and tissues are stimulated by the use of the needles. Acupuncture therapy has noticeably resulted in increased blood flow and has caused the body to produce some of its own natural pain-reducing hormones (such as adrenaline).

Acupuncture has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including:

• Back and neck pain
• Allergies
• Depression and anxiety
• Osteoarthritis
• Knee pain
• Headaches and migraines

The World Health Organization has stated that acupuncture has helped with:

• Nausea and vomiting
• High and low blood pressure
• Chronic pain
• Morning sickness
• Inducing labor
