What is Acupuncture and what can it treat? Western medical acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles in critical points on the body using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology. These needles work to stimulate the nervous system to reduce inflammation, pain, and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities to promote physical well-being.
This form of alternative medicine has been extensively researched with thousands of peer-reviewed studies to prove the benefits in a variety of conditions. These include arthritis, disc disease, nerve pain, post-surgical healing, hormonal or metabolic conditions, skin conditions, gastrointestinal problems, epilepsy, anxiety and more.
