Why Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the use of very thin needles to stimulate different pressure points along the meridian system. Electroacupuncture involves stimulation of these needles with a mild electrical current. The electrical current is not painful, it feels more like a gentle vibration. Electroacupuncture is thought to stimulate the central nervous system and provide an analgesic (pain relieving) effect.

Did You Know?
Chinese Medicine.
Chinese Medicine has always been a physical medicine, based on real anatomy, not an energy based medicine. Everything that our body needs in order to function it receives from our blood. Every organ and every cell of our body is supported through blood flow. All the nutrients we receive from our food, the hormones we produce, the body’s natural anti-inflammatories & analgesics (pain killers), and most importantly oxygen are all found in our blood system. This is why we are so concerned with the health of your blood vessels.
