Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. While it is thought that acupuncture only treats pain, that is not the case.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine are forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM that have been used in China and other parts of the world for thousands of years to treat everything from gastritis, depression, fibromyalgia, and the common cold. Acupuncture is a safe and effective alternative to prescription pharmaceuticals and surgery.
Through the use of inserting needles into specific points located on the body, your doctor is able to manipulate the body's homeostatic processes, whether that is by releasing endorphins, enzymes, or other hormones.
Both chronic and acute ailments are effectively treated with Acupuncture and TCM.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) recognize acupuncture for treating over 40 conditions:
