For thousands of years acupuncture has been used successfully to treat many diseases. Sterilized disposable needles are used to stimulate the body's different systems to promote natural healing , improve function and reduce or relieve pain.
People experience different sensations with acupuncture.
What a patient does feel is a stimulus at the needle. These sensations can be described as cramping, heaviness, distension, tingling or electric. Modern science cannot explain how acupuncture works. The basic theory of acupuncture is to regulate the flow of energy towards areas of deficiency and away from areas of excess. In this way , acupuncture restores the energetic balance of the body.
