Acupuncture is a form of natural healing that can help improve immunity, enhance healing, improve physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe and effective option to treat a wide variety of conditions. Acupuncture physicians use this noninvasive medical system to diagnose common ailments such as respiratory infections, digestive problems, pain issues and much more. The goal of acupuncture is to activate the body’s natural self-healing properties and restore it back to normal function. This is done through stimulation of specific points on the body known as acupoints.

From a modern perspective, stimulation of acupuncture points causes the release of nervous system chemicals in the spinal chord, brain, and muscles that helps to improve the body’s ability to heal. The chemicals help deal with issues such as how the body interprets pain and how quickly the body can heal itself. Because of this acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of conditions.
