History
Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy for treating a wide range of conditions. Acupuncture is now covered by many insurance policies and is used most broadly to relieve pain.
How it works?
Acupuncture promotes the natural self-healing process of the body by stimulating specific acupuncture points. The most common method used to stimulate acupuncture points is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Acupuncture points can be stimulated without the use of needles using techniques such as: manual massage, moxibustion/heat therapy, or cupping.
