Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
A complete and holistic system of medicine, acupuncture empowers the body’s innate intelligence to self heal and restore balance by inserting fine needles into specific points along the body’s meridians to balance the flow of Qi and promote healing.
Acupuncture is based on patterns of energy flow: the vital life force referred to as “Qi”. When the body is in balance, Qi is flowing harmoniously throughout the meridians within the body. Illness and pain arise when the meridians become blocked and Qi is not able to move freely.
BioMedical Perspective
Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system and encouraging the release of the body’s natural chemicals—like endorphins (which reduce pain) and neurotransmitters (which help regulate mood and body functions). These signals improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and help the body restore balance. Research shows that acupuncture can calm the stress response, support immune function, and promote healing in both the body and mind. By tapping into the body’s natural ability to heal itself, acupuncture offers a science-backed approach to pain relief, recovery, and overall wellness.
