Acupuncture treatment for chronic pain - safe, effective.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a remarkably effective treatment for pain. Many patients experience relief after their first treatment, with nearly all our patients feeling significant pain reduction after 6-8 treatments.
Acupuncture provides dramatic relief from arthritis, headaches, disc pain, sports injuries, low back pain, and many other painful conditions. It is even effective in cases where doctors can't find a physical cause for the pain. Many of our patients tell us that no one could find anything wrong with their bones, nerves, muscles, or tendons - yet they were still in pain everyday. Many were told it was "all in their head"!
Wrong. We know that pain is very real, even when there are no physical findings. Chinese medicine understands that your body is more than just a physical machine - it is also an energetic system that needs to be kept in balance. Pain can be very real, even when it doesn't show up on an X-ray or MRI.
Chinese Medicine - safe, holistic
Acupuncture is part of Chinese medicine, a healing tradition that is more than 3,000 years old. Chinese Medicine is a holistic medicine, which means that it is focused on the patient as a unique individual with unique health problems. Acupuncture is a gentle way of helping the body heal itself, and it is always focused on addressing each patient's underlying causes of disease. Because of this, there are no side effects.
The needles used are sterile, disposable, and extremely thin. Treatments are not painful. The needles are inserted at key points to directly influence the flow of energy in the channels of the body. In this way, pain is relieved and health restored.
Backed by modern research
The effectiveness of acupuncture has been proven through modern medical research, and every day new studies confirm the ancient Chinese medical knowledge - acupuncture works. The World Health Organization, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and the insurance industry have all recognized its safety and effectiveness.
