Golden Point Acupuncture

What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that has been practiced for centuries. It's based on the theory that vital energy, called Qi (say "chee"), flows through and around your body along pathways called meridians. Chinese medicine has its basis in the theory that illness is caused by forces blocking or unbalancing your Qi. Acupuncture is a way to influence Qi and bring it back into balance within the body.

In layman's terms, it triggers and speeds up the bodies healing process. Acupuncture treatment aims to bring homeostasis to different systems in the body, meaning to balance the body's functions. Recent Research has found that several types of pain reducing chemicals are released into the central nervous system during acupuncture treatment, thereby reducing pain levels.

Acupuncture also alters brain chemistry, sensation, and involuntary body functions. Studies have shown that acupuncture alters the brain's chemistry by triggering the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones.
