General Acupuncture

Aches and pain are part of the body’s alarm system that sends a signal to keep us safe and help the body heal. When pain continues for a long time it can cause changes to your nervous system, which increase sensitivity, frequency, and intensity. General acupuncture is one of the safest and most effective natural ways to address pain. Pain-relieving endorphins and other naturally-occurring biochemicals released during acupuncture help decrease pain, rivaling the strongest prescription analgesic drugs but without undesirable side effects. Acupuncture has been used to treat most pain conditions, including low back pain, nerve pain, hand and knee pain, headache, fibromyalgia, menstrual pain, and others.

General acupuncture is a safe and effective way to target the root cause of allergies, using the body’s own healing mechanisms to help bring relief from symptoms, correct imbalances of the immune system, prevent the occurrence of infection, and encourage healing.

Acupuncture can be used to restore balance to the body’s digestion function and improve gut health. It provides natural relief from heartburn, bloating, cramps, constipation, and other common digestive issues related to poor gut health. Acupuncture also helps to promote the repair and regeneration of digestive tissue, while improving digestive function and absorption of essential nutrients.

Acupuncture has been in continuous use for thousands of years to naturally maintain health and vitality. It excels at being able to identify and treat conditions of overall poor health long before they become full blown states of disease. Preserving and tuning up health by averting disease before it begins has long been the preferred method of treatment in acupuncture.

Living with high levels of stress limits your entire well-being. Stress wreaks havoc on your mental-emotional balance, narrows your ability to think clearly, function effectively, and enjoy life to its fullest. Left untreated stress also lowers immune function and may lead to health problems such as lowered immunity, insomnia, depression, pain, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, obesity and diabetes. Acupuncture is an excellent natural way to help move the mind and body through the stress response. It helps release “feel-good” chemical messengers called endorphins, and it helps lowers levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, to promote relaxation and pain relief, and strengthen resistance to disease.
