Acupuncture, simply stated, is a health science which is used to successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body. Acupuncture has it's roots in China between 5,000 and 7,000 years old. Acupuncture may appear strange since it is primarily known to use needles placed in the skin to relieve pain or affect a body part. At this point you probably have more questions than answers, like is it painful? How long is the treatment? How often do I need to come in? How does it work? Will it work for my condition? Do you have to use needles? There are varying answers to these basic questions. Contact us and schedule a consultation and we will be more than happy to answer all these questions to alleviate any apprehension.
Meridian therapy is the accepted name employed by those who practice the principle of Acupuncture without the use of a penetrating needle.
Acupuncture is a principle, not a technique. Therefore, there are many ways to stimulate an Acupoint other than a needle, just as there are many different strokes used in swimming.
We also offer electronic stimulation to treat an Acupoint. The principle of Acupuncture does not change, only the technique.
