Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic modality of healing, which involves inserting thin, sterile needles into your skin to stimulate acupuncture points in your body. Acupuncture treatments address imbalances that arise from physical and emotional stress, poor nutrition, infection, motor vehicle accidents, or other injuries.
Acupuncture is used to treat many health conditions, including alleviating pain, improving mental health, as well as recovering from surgery, injuries and motor vehicle accidents. Acupuncture works by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, decreasing pain, releasing endorphins, and increasing tissue healing.

Benefits of Acupuncture
How Can Acupuncture Benefit Your Life?
The World Health Organization (WHO) published a report on Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials:
Dr. Xiaorui Zhang
“Modern scientific research studies have revealed the following actions of acupuncture:
- inducing analgesia [pain relief]
- protecting the body against infections
- regulating various physiological functions
Since its therapeutic actions are achieved by mobilization of the organism’s own potential, acupuncture does not produce adverse effects, as do many drug therapies.
. . . Generally speaking, acupuncture treatment is safe if it is performed properly by a well-trained practitioner. Unlike many drugs, it is non-toxic, and adverse reactions are minimal.”
