What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterilized needles into specific points on the body. These needles stimulate nerve endings to trigger the release of natural chemicals like serotonin and endorphins. This process helps reduce muscle tension, alleviate pain, and improve blood circulation, aiding in the reduction of inflammation.
While rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture's effectiveness is supported by scientific studies, particularly in these key areas:
Pain relief
Endorphin and serotonin release
Improved blood flow in targeted tissues
Muscle relaxation and spasm reduction
Conditions Acupuncture Treats
Acupuncture can be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
Muscle spasms
Tendinitis
Bursitis
Frozen shoulder
Headaches
Back and neck pain
Nerve pain
Chronic pain conditions
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD)
