Thousands of years old, this ancient Chinese healing method improves functioning and encourages the body to promote natural healing. There are many benefits of acupuncture, here are a few:

• Alleviates pain and suffering
• Promotes health & well-being
• Prevention of illness

It is done, by inserting very fine needles along the body’s meridians. Meridians are energy channels. They are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up in others.

The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system. When depleted or obstructed symptoms arise, but by releasing the obstruction it allows natural healing and illness prevention.
