Medical Acupuncture is a therapeutic method used to encourage natural healing, reduce pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins help to block pain pathways. There are almost no complications or adverse effects from acupuncture. Most patients find that the treatments are relaxing and cause minimal discomfort.

Medical Acupuncture Indications:

Headaches; Neck and back pain; Shoulder /knee arthritis; Tennis Elbow; Sciatica; Fibromyalgia; Sinusitis; Insomnia; Addiction; Menstrual Disorders

"Almost twice as many patients responded to acupuncture versus conventional therapy, Heinz G. Endres, M.D., of Ruhr-University Bochum, and colleagues, reported in the Sept. 24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine."
