Acupuncture
Acupuncture utilizes very fine needles inserted into specific points in the body. The needles are used as a tool to help the body's natural and innate energy heal disharmony within. According to Chinese medicine theory our vital energy, called qi, moves throughout the body via pathways called channels. When our systems are harmonized this energy is able to flow freely. Trauma, illness, disease and other factors can disrupt this flow. Acupuncture works with the body's own energy and biological systems to restore balance and health.
Electro-acupuncture uses the same acupuncture points as traditional acupuncture. The difference is the needles are attached, via small clips, to a machine that generates electric pulses to stimulate the point. Electro-acupuncture is very effective in reducing pain and inflammation, helping regain sensation when dealing with paresthesia and numbness, stroke rehabilitation and more.
