Acupuncture is a popular treatment choice for dysfunction related to arthritis, sports injuries, neck and back pain, and headaches. However, it has proven to be effective in treating a whole range of conditions. For a more complete list, please see FAQ.
Acupuncture is based on the understanding that all the parts of the body are interconnected by means of energetic pathways called meridians. Like blood vessels and arteries, which follow a particular trajectory through the body, meridians map the movement of energy in our system, joining the internal organs with areas on the trunk, limbs, and even the hands and feet.
Stimulation of specific points along these meridians with tiny, sterilized needles helps the body to correct the imbalance that is causing pain or dysfunction. Acupuncture helps the body to heal by improving the functioning of internal organs, as well as muscles, and by unblocking stagnation, relieving tension, and balancing blood flow.
