Acupuncture is a safe, minimally-invasive, and drug-free treatment that involves inserting sterile, disposable needles in specific points on the body.
We can also perform acustimulation, which amplifies the effects of acupuncture by connecting the needles to an electrical stimulation device. This allows for deeper stimulation of acupuncture points. It feels similar to the electrical stimulation used in a TENS unit; it is just as safe, but more specific to the area being treated. Finally, we can perform dry needling, where the needles are inserted directly into trigger points. The needles are then manipulated to release scar tissue at the trigger point. There are many tremendous benefits to receiving acupuncture or dry needling, such as pain relief, decreased inflammation, increased range of motion, decreased muscle tightness or spasms, better flexibility and mobility, improved sleep quality, relaxation, stress relief, and increased ability to perform activities of daily living. What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a form of treatment in Ancient Chinese Medicine that dates back over 2,000 years ago. It is a safe, minimally-invasive, and a drug-free treatment that involves inserting sterile, disposable needles in specific points in the body to achieve desired results. After needles are safely inserted, they are left in for 15-20 min to allow stimulation to that area. In Ancient Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture aims to restore vital energy in the body known as Qi (chee). In western medicine, it is used to stimulate specific points in the body and attract blood flow to that area to promote healing.
