What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture helps heal an ankle sprain and diminishes pain

Acupuncture is just one form of therapy used within the coherent system of healing known as Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture evolved from principles and philosophies unique to Oriental thinking and Oriental Medicine, and is most effectively applied when practiced in accordance with these principles.

Acupuncture is used to promote overall health and ease pain and suffering. The concepts of “vital energy”, “energy balance”, and “energetic imbalance” are used to carry out these goals. Acupuncturists assess the flow and distribution of this “vital energy” within its pathways, known as “meridians and channels”. Western medical doctors do this when they monitor blood flow in the blood vessels and passages along the nervous system.

The acupuncturist can influence health and sickness by stimulating certain areas or “acupoints” along these meridians. Stimulation can be accomplished using traditional, slender needles that most people associate with Acupuncture, but it can also occur with herbs, electricity, magnets, and lasers. The goal is to adjust the “vital energy” so the proper amount reaches the appropriate place at the correct time. This helps your body to heal itself.

Just one of the many testimonials, from JL of Brandon, Florida writes about her lower back pain: “Immediate and almost total pain relief after 1st visit…I came in a wheelchair and left pushing the wheelchair myself!”
