Empower your Health
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. It has both physical and emotional benefits. It works by stimulating the central nervous system to release neurotransmitters that impact pain perception, mood, and physiological functions. Acupuncture also stimulates the body's natural healing response by increasing blood flow and modulating inflammation. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi flows through the body along meridians and can be accessed at specific points to regulate Qi, Yin, and Yang and restore health and balance. Acupuncture has been shown to help with pain, musculoskeletal injuries, headaches, anxiety, nausea, stress, insomnia, and more.
