Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest and popular medical procedures. Acupuncture is of Chinese origin and has been in practice for more than 2500 years now, but it was only during the last few decades that it began to spread rapidly in the western world including Europe, Canada and the United States. Acupuncture treatment is done by inserting very thin needles through the skin at strategic acupuncture points in the body. The needles are inserted to different depths based on the strategy of treatment.

Acupuncture Benefits

• Acupuncture works by applying small needles on the body’s pressure points. This process increases the amount of nitric oxide in the body and improves circulation as the blood vessels become relaxed. Relaxation of the blood vessels allows for improved blood flow. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs and muscle tissues, making your whole body healthier, stronger and more nourished.
• As acupuncture needles are placed on different points on the body, natural endorphins are released, which provide significant relief when suffering from chronic pain. Also, acupuncture can serve as a healthy and natural alternative to painkillers. Prescription and over-the-counter pain medicine can cause unwanted side effects over time.
• Acupuncture helps prevent many common injuries. Treatments improve circulatory and nervous system regulation. This helps promote homeostasis throughout the body and allows for the proper function of the different systems in the body.
• Acupuncture can reduce fatigue and pain during bouts of exercise and set your body up for a healthy recovery. The stress that occurs to muscles and joints during physical activity can be controlled through regular acupuncture treatments.
• Acupuncture has been shown to promote the optimal production of male and female hormones, which can support fertility and the progression of pregnancy. Acupuncture can offer a wide range of health and wellness benefits, but individuals should consult their physician before using acupuncture to address any health concerns.
