What Are The Benefits Of Acupuncture?

Acupuncture provides many benefits. Mainly, people seek acupuncture because it is surgery-free, drug-free, does not require much recovery time, and helps them heal the body from an injury or condition.

Acupuncture can also bring pain relief for many individuals. This therapy stimulates the energy flow within the body. As a result, you will experience all-natural endorphins that help reduce pain.

Along with pain relief, acupuncture can provide healing of the body. This is because acupuncture promotes blood flow and circulation throughout the body. With great circulation, the body can work to heal itself.

What Should I Expect At An Acupuncture Appointment?

For your first acupuncture session, you will receive a comprehensive exam. This exam is to diagnose any health conditions or injuries that may be affecting your overall well-being. From there, our acupuncturist will begin with treatment. He will place the very thin needles to areas that need to be treated. The needles will be left in for approximately 35 minutes, adjusting them from time to time. After your treatment, you should feel a bit better.
