Acupuncture is a method that helps the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning without the use of drugs. Acupuncture is performed by inserting ultra thin needles in distinct areas of the body and applying electrical stimulation at specific acupuncture points. Medical acupuncture is performed by a physician trained and licensed in Western medicine who has also had formal training in acupuncture as a specialty practice. In addition to medical acupuncture, our acupuncturist is a neurologist and interventional pain management specialist and can use a combination of Western and alternative approaches to address your specific pain condition. Clinical research studies have supported acupuncture treatment for the following conditions:
- Low back Pain
- Neck Pain
- Headache/Migraine
- Pain in the Shoulder, Elbow, Knee, Hip, and other joints
- Stress
Does Acupuncture Really Work?
Yes. Over the past 3,000 years, acupuncture has been used to successfully treat more people than all other medical treatments combined.
