Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates your body’s natural healing mechanisms, helping to restore physical and mental balance. Traditional Chinese explanations use the concept of restoring the normal flow of energy (qi) that circulates along special channels, or meridians, throughout the body.
Modern research has shown that acupuncture elicits a complex set of responses in the peripheral, central and autonomic nervous systems, including the release of chemicals and hormones involved in pain transmission, behaviour, muscle and visceral (organ) activity.”
Medical Acupuncture is acupuncture performed by health-care professionals with training in biomedical sciences (i.e. chiropractor, physician, physiotherapist) who combine this treatment with other therapeutic approaches, as needed.
