About Acupuncture....

The origins of acupuncture are over 1,000 years old, and it has been practiced for centuries in East Asia.  Traditionally, acupuncture is understood to balance and regulate the flow of energy in the body and to thereby support optimal physiological function.

Modern medical research has revealed that acupuncture has an effect on the hypothalamus, which regulates the endocrine system and hormones.  It has been shown to stimulate endorphin and serotonin production, which affect pain  perception and mood. It also activates the parasympathetic division of the autonomic system which induces the relaxation response and reduces the effects of stress on our bodies.

Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture safely increases blood circulation, decreases inflammation, and enhances the effectiveness of the immune system by increasing the number of T-cells.
