Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the most famous form of Holistic medicine. Although it has been practiced in various parts of Asia for over 2000 years, acupuncture is relatively new in the United States. And yet people are quickly coming to understand how potent this gentle medicine is, and how it can help people, not only to heal, but to avoid some of the side effects of Western medical drugs and surgical interventions.
As defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, “the term ‘acupuncture’ describes a family of procedures involving the stimulation of anatomical points on the body using a variety of techniques.
Scientists are studying the efficacy of acupuncture for a wide range of conditions, and many theories regarding “how it works” are still under development.is capable of treating a wide range of health problems. Some of the general categories of health concerns we treat are:
Musculoskeletal problems: pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia and arthritis, back pain, sciatica, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder and knee pain, general muscle tightness…
Digestive disorders: gastric reflux, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, digestive-related side effects of medications, nausea, morning sickness, ulcers, hemorrhoids…
