ACUPUNCTURE

Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about acupuncture treatment.

How Does Acupuncture Work?
The goal of acupuncture is to activate the natural, self-healing abilities of the body. There are 14 main meridians (or channels) that run throughout our bodies. Through these main meridians and lesser channels, Qi (our body's vital energy) is able to course throughout our entire body, much like blood travels the whole body via our vascular systems. More than 400 acupuncture points lay on these me-ridians - each one having a specific function. When these acupoints are stimulated by acupuncture needles, they prompt the body to carry out their designated function, activating our self-healing abili-ties.
What can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems, such as:
Addiction Dizziness Migraine
Anxiety Emotional problems Nausea
Arthritis Fatigue Neck pain
Carpal tunnel Fibromyalgia Pain
Chronic fatigue Headache PMS
Common Cold Incontinence Sciatica
Constipation IBS Shoulder pain
Depression Low back pain Sleep disturbances
Diarrhea Menopause Stress
Digestive problems Menstrual irregularities Tennis elbow
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, acupuncture is completely safe when administered by a qualified acupuncturist (such as Jessie).

Does acupuncture hurt?
The needles used in acupuncture are hair-thin and most people feel no unpleasant sensations from them. At worst, patients liken the insertion to a mosquito bite. In general, people leave their acupunc-ture treatments feeling quite relaxed.

Do I need to stop seeing my other health care practitioners or discontinue my medications?
Absolutely not. Acupuncture is a complementary therapy and helps to boost the effects of other health care modalities and treatments.
