Acupuncture derives as a form and component of traditional Chinese Medicine and has been a regular practice all over the world and was originally developed 4000 years ago. Acupuncture works to balance the meridians and energy pathways throughout your body. This works to identify the area of the body that is off to provide relief. This works to identify the area where the “chi,” your body’s energy, is off balance and restore it!
Research has shown that when fine needles are applied to specific areas of the body it will send signals to your brain about what is going on in your body. When the needles are placed, they work together to increase blood flow and pressure that can result in a reduction of pain and inflammation. This is why acupuncture is known to aid in successful pain control and endorphin release that allows for a natural healing and serotonin boost.


Generally, the answer is no. Sensations may vary from person to person, visit to visit, and point to point. Sometimes there is no sensation at all. Sometimes there is a feeling of heaviness, a dull aching or a throbbing sensation. Sometimes there is a sting that quickly goes away or a warm, tingling sensation along the course of the meridian.
