How does it work?  

Acupuncture is stimulation of psychological systems in the brain or periphery of the brain. The stimulation is actual penetration of metal needles into the skin. In addition, the needles are inserted in various depths into the skin. Needles can be stimulated manually or electronically. Acupuncture can cause biological responses within our body. Those responses occur locally at the site or application or remotely by sensory neurons. The popular belief about acupuncture is that it balances out the energy. The needle points are crucial for balancing energy and delivering relief.

The Western medicine has conducted various studies on the acupuncture but still didn’t obtain consensus on how it works. Testimonials by patients prove its healing abilities. The biological changes within our bodies are identifiable after acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatments usually last around 30 minutes and repeat few times per week. The number of treatments varies and it depends on the patient’s condition. If you are experiencing one of the conditions treatable with acupuncture, make an appointment with us right away.
