Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been an essential part of medicine for thousands of years in the East. There are over 2,000 different acupuncture points. Stimulating certain combinations of these points with acupuncture needles stimulates the body’s healing mechanisms. There are many different theories as to why and how it works, it can be explained from a Western and Eastern standpoint.

I explain it to my patients as a manipulation of electromagnetic waves or impulses. Just like you can change your radio station to tune into a specific frequency, each acupuncture protocol is requesting a specific action from your body. Acupuncture requires patients to think about health in entirely different ways. It will remind you that your body is extremely intelligent. The driving idea behind acupuncture is that we’re already in possession of everything we need to be well. Acupuncture does not add or subtract anything, rather it prompts the body to do what it already knows how to do. It reminds you that you have the power to heal yourself.
