Using hair-fine needles to stimulate certain points, acupuncture has been proven to create physiological and biochemical changes in the nervous system and brain. Specific points can strengthen the immune system, reduce stress, relieve pain, strengthen internal organs, increase metabolism for weight loss, improve detoxing, and release endorphins – the body’s natural “feel good” hormone. You will be pleasantly surprised in how relaxed you are as you begin the natural healing process. If you are still fearful of needles, acupuncture is only one of many modalities used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Eastern Medicine can work concurrently with Western Medicine and can have synergistic effects that produce an even greater benefit than the sum of their individual parts.
