Frequently Asked Questions

The traditional belief of how Acupuncture restores health (the eastern or oriental medicine belief) is that there are energy pathways called “meridians” that run the length of the body. If these pathways become blocked, the result can be poor health or pain and inflammation. Acupuncture helps to “unblock” these pathways, allowing the body to function as it was meant to and heal naturally.

Modern medicine believes that the puncture of the needle is treated as foreign matter, so the body calls upon the immune system and increases blood flow. This creates more while blood cells in the area and eventually reduces inflammation and pain. Often Acupuncture can be used in the form of “trigger point therapy” to release acute and chronic spasm in muscles. It has also been shown to increase the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers and “feel good” hormones.

Each of these disciplines provides specialized ways of attacking a health problem. Often times the goal is the same (reduction of pain, inflammation, better movement, increased strength or stability) however how and why you get there is different. One of the main benefits of an integrated practice if that if one approach is not working, then you can try something else with out it taking much time or effort. Every human being and therefore every health situation is different. Therefore there is not ONE approach that works for everything. We often find that it is the combination of serval types of therapies, taking the best that each has to offer, that gets the best results for even the toughest of problems.

Acupuncture is never meant to be painful. Most patients report they don’t feel anything at all or feel a tremendous sense of relief and relaxation. That’s because the “pins” (we like that term better than needles) are one quarter the size of sewing needles and one one-hundredth the size of doctor’s syringes. If you are apprehensive about trying acupuncture we can schedule a complimentary consultation with the Acupuncturist so you can discuss your concerns and become more comfortable with the therapist and the office. Most patients that give it a try find there was never anything to worry about and ca then enjoy the benefits of acupuncture without any stress.
