ACUPUNCTURE: WHAT IS IT? 

Acupuncture dates back thousands of years and has been a key part of traditional Chinese medicine.  Acupuncture balances life force and energy of life, often referred to as Qi.  The insertion of small, hair thin needles allows energy to flow across all the lines of the body, or meridians of the body.  Acupuncture services can be used for various mental, physical and emotional conditions because of its ability to promote natural healing.  By inserting the needles into key, strategic places, we can release stress and activate the body’s self-healing abilities. This alternative treatment is key in stress management.

Needle-Less Acupuncture 

Are you afraid of needles?  Does the thought of needles scare you off from considering acupuncture?  There’s some great news.  There are other options such as acupressure, an alternative to acupuncture that uses pressure at certain acupuncture points but offers the same great benefits. Needle-less acupuncture differs from traditional acupuncture mainly because this method uses hands to apply pressure to acupuncture points, acupressure tools and light therapy. 

Needle-less acupuncture is a great alternative to the traditional method for those who fear needles, or for those the traditional methods are not recommended such as those who are taking blood thinners, or have blood clotting disorders.
