Acupuncture

The objective of Acupuncture is simple…to relieve pain and other symptoms by placing needles at various locations in the body to create balance and harmony. Acupuncture works with the body’s circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary, and all other systems to restore balance to the affected area.

Most of us can relate to being stuck with a pin or have a hypodermic injection. Because of the extreme slenderness of the needle, most people describe the sensation as less than a mosquito bite.

The number of treatments varies with different conditions and individuals. Chronic problems generally require more treatment than acute ones. Some patients notice an immediate improvement after the first treatment while others may not notice any effect for several treatments. The most common number of treatments required are between eight and sixteen, and the usual frequency is between two and four times a week. Even though Acupuncture may achieve success within a few visits, a program of frequent visits over a period of time will have a better chance of success. Patience is important with the healing process.
