What is Acupuncture?

Stimulating the central nervous system

Acupuncture is the use of sterile thin needles by a highly trained specialist to gently penetrate the skin in specific areas of the body in order to achieve very real and lab-tested physiologic effects. As your acupuncturist solution, we have many years of experience in providing these services professionally and accurately to achieve results.

A further dive into acupuncture shows that it alters and blocks the sensation of pain, releases endorphins and serotonin, increases circulation, and induces long-lasting anti-inflammatory and immunologic responses in the body. Unlike other modalities, acupuncture effects are long-lasting, and use the body’s own processes to induce healing without many risks or complications. This medicine has been in use for 5,000 years, and is practiced as part of all medical treatment in Chinese hospitals and clinics.

A magical and transformative experience when done by an expert

Gua sha and cupping use forced micro perfusion of blood through tissue to induce a measurable anti-inflammatory and immune-protective effect. In short; it bruises you in order to make you heal, and it just hurts so good!

If you never had acupuncture before, it can seem intimidating or daunting at first when in fact, it’s actually quite worth giving a try. It can be transformative depending on what your body needs or therapeutic in nature.
