Acupuncture for Healing

What It Does, How It Works

Acupuncture is a powerful aspect of Chinese Medicine that helps restore energetic balance within your body. And since any health problem you experience is a sign something is out of balance, acupuncture can be very effective for returning health and well-being.

You can think about it this way: because balance is so important, your body is constantly seeking to return to a more balanced state. It's a complicated process regulated by your autonomic nervous system, your endocrine system, even down to every cell in your body. These internal processes work together 24 hours a day to keep you alive and healthy.

In Western medicine they have a term for this process, called homeostasis. Homeostasis means self-regulating. This inner balancing process regulates the natural rhythm of your life – waking and sleep, activity and rest, hunger and satisfaction. In other words, all the important activities related to survival.

But sometimes your ability to restore balance gets overwhelmed. Stress, poor diet and physical trauma can create a situation where inner balance isn't easily restored. When this happens, you don't recover as rapidly as you used to and chronic, ongoing symptoms occur.

Acupuncture eliminates pain, reduces stress and alleviates diseases such as:

• Pain in any part of your body, including headaches, back pain, muscle pain, joint pain and fibromyalgia.
• Digestive problems, such as poor elimination, gas and bloating after meals.
• Gynecological issues ranging from PMS and cramping to menopause.
• Asthma, allergies and other respiratory problems.
• Conditions related to stress, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders.
• Many types of nerve problems such as nerve pain, shingles, tremors, etc.

Acupuncture can also be used to prevent these problems in the first place and minimize their impact on your quality of life.

In addition, many people find that they feel better, deal with stress more effectively, and get more done when they receive regular acupuncture treatments.
