Acupuncture is a complete system of medicine based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and modern scientific and physiologic systems. It is used to assess, diagnose and treat individuals.
Acupuncture has many therapeutic benefits:
promote, maintain, restore or improve health
prevent disorder, imbalance or disease
alleviate pain
facilitate healing
increase mobility
stimulate the body’s natural healing process
restore function and quality of life
Acupuncture involves the stimulation of acupuncture points, identified by anatomical and physiological standards, as well as by manual inspection & palpation. Stimulation of specific points elicits a predictable physiological response, including neurophysiological responses in the muscles, spinal cord and brain, and nervous system, as well as biochemical and hormonal responses in the body.
These responses either change the body’s experience of symptoms, especially pain, or trigger the release of substances which influence the body’s internal regulation. A treatment plan includes the administration of manual, mechanical, thermal and electro-therapeutic stimulation during treatment sessions.
