Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy that works by stimulating specific points on the body with fine needles to promote the natural flow of energy, or "Qi," along pathways called meridians. This helps to restore balance, improve circulation, and trigger the body’s own healing mechanisms.

​

Modern research shows that acupuncture influences the nervous system, releasing natural pain-relievers, such as endorphins, and regulating the immune response. It’s effective for managing pain, reducing stress, and supporting the body in healing from various conditions. Whether you're dealing with physical pain, emotional stress, or chronic issues, acupuncture offers a gentle, holistic approach to restore your well-being.

Acupuncture is widely known for it's effectiveness in treating various type of pain. Acupuncture needle stimulation prompts the nervous system to release nature painkillers like endorphin and enkephalins.

Acupuncture influences the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's rest, relaxation, and recovery functions. It helps to shift the body from a "fight or flight" state into a more relaxed state. It also helps modulate the levels of key neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA, all of which are crucial for mood regulation.
