Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, but has only recently started to become integrated into western medicine. Acupuncture is the practice of puncturing the skin with needless in order to treat disease
What can acupuncture help?
It is commonly used to relieve arthritis pain and back pain. It may also be useful in other painful conditions, such as migraine and other soft tissue injuries.
How does it work?
Acupuncture doesn’t work for everyone, or for every condition. It has measurable effects on body systems, but scientists can’t explain them all in detail. Acupuncture is known to increase the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins, in the spinal cord and the brain. This inhibits pain.
