Acupuncture is an ancient healing art form, included along with Herbal Medicine, Cupping, Gua-sha, and other various modalities under the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body.
These acupuncture points were discovered over many hundreds, if not thousands of years ago.
The theory is that energy, known as "Qi, " circulates through the body and when this energy is in proper balance there is health - however if the Qi of the body gets stuck, or accumulates to be excessive, or has been drained and is deficient, disease arises.

It's a very frequent question - just how DOES acupuncture work?
And the short answer is.nobody really knows, yet.
But studies are continually being done, so hopefully we will narrow in on the mechanism of action, and the skeptics will be convinced.
Researchers recently studied the effects of needling one point on the leg for pain relief, and found that it down regulated pro-inflammatory macrophages and up regulated anti-inflammatory macrophages that are an important source of IL-10 anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Unlike allopathic medicine, where headaches are treated with aspirin, cholesterol is lowered with a statin drug, and insomnia is treated with a sleep aid without taking into account the individual nature of the person suffering from the problem, an acupuncture treatment is customized to suit the needs of the patient.
Different people suffer headaches for different reasons, and so their treatment should not be the same even if we call all headaches by the same name.
We ask you a lot of questions, some of which may seem irrelevant to the problem you are coming in with.

A: No! The needles are very, very small.
They are nothing like the hollow needles that are used in blood draws and injections, as they are solid.
In fact, they are so thin that they bend.
At worst, you might feel a small pinch when the needle goes in, but as soon as it is beneath the surface of the skin, you typically won't feel the needle at all.
Sometimes people feel a heaviness, or tingling, or even a "wooshing" feeling - these are all normal, and mean that your Qi (energy) is going to or being moved by the needle.

We invite you to step away to immerse in self.
