Acupuncture Clinic: What You Should Expect
Acupuncture can play an important role in the reduction or elimination of your pain. You will receive a:
- comprehensive examination,
- diagnosis, and
- treatment.
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging your body to promote natural healing and improved function. Modern science explains acupuncture as the practice of needling the stimulus points of your body’s nervous system. This causes your body to release chemicals into your muscles, spinal cord and brain.
This all works to influence your body to stimulate natural healing and well being. It is initiated by inserting stainless steel needles into your body at specific points. You will most likely find the experience extremely relaxing and uplifting. You should experience a heightened awareness of your body, yet in a relaxed state.

Patient Focused Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest types of medicinal treatments known to mankind. The classical Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that your body has regular patterns of energy that flow through your body. These energy channels are called meridians and are like rushing water flowing through your body.
When an obstruction blocks this movement, it creates a dam blocking the energy flow. Acupuncture needles unblock these dams and reestablish the regular flow.
Acupuncture treatments can help your body’s internal organs to correct imbalances in your digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and in the circulation of energy through the meridians.
Most patients feel no pain as the needles are inserted; some feel minimal pain
Once the needles are in place, you will feel no pain. Acupuncture needles are very thin and solid and are made from stainless steel. Because the doctor uses disposable needles, there is no risk of infection from the treatments.
