Medical Acupuncture

According to the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture (AAMA), acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. Acupuncture can positively influence three areas of health care: promotion of health and well-being; prevention of illness, and treatment of various medical conditions.

Acupuncture is done by inserting very thin, disposable needles into precise acupuncture points. These needles remain inserted for a short period of time and may be utilized to apply heat or electrical stimulation. By needling acupuncture points along energy channels (also called meridians), acupuncture can help the body’s internal organs correct biochemical imbalances to enhance energy production activities as well as circulation of energy through the meridians. Improvements in biochemical balance and energy flow can stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
