Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture seeks to ease pain by balancing the body’s natural energy pathways.
Acupuncture alleviates pain by causing the body to release serotonin, a ‘feel-good’ chemical that relieves pain and discomfort. The procedure involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through the skin at strategic pressure points to relieve a variety of conditions.
Acupuncture is commonly used to treat chronic low-back pain.
Results have shown that acupuncture when combined with other conventional therapies relieves pain and improves function better than the conventional therapies alone.
Effects from acupuncture can be observed immediately following the session.
