Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine:

Traditional Chinese Medicine works by correcting imbalances in the body. When your body regains its natural balance, you are healthier, and you feel better. Treating the imbalance does not just treat the symptoms or mask the condition, but rather corrects the root of the problem by encouraging self-healing of the body.  The treatments are specifically tailored to your condition and symptoms.

Acupuncture is a natural therapy with little risks of side effects.  Acupuncture can help you to reduce your dependance upon medications and bring about a sense of well being.  Acupuncture works by stimulating the body to heal itself.  Physiologically, acupuncture works to reduce pain and inflammation through regulating neural pain pathways, stimulating the release of the body’s natural pain relievers, as well as regulating pain relieving receptors.  Acupuncture also has an anti-inflammatory effect reducing the circulating inflammatory hormones.
