Medical Acupuncture

Like other healthcare modalities, medical acupuncture is not a method, but a set of principles based on anatomy and physiology. These principles involve stimulation of certain points throughout the body tissues. For thousands of years, achieving the therapeutic effect of acupuncture has relied on the use of needles. Today, acupuncture can be performed using electrical stimulation, providing excellent results for a wide variety of ailments.

Another form of acupuncture, as applied to the outer ear, is called auriculotherapy. It can be effective at relieving chronic pain and depression, reducing dependency on nicotine and other addictive substances, and stimulating the immune system to facilitate healing.

While acupuncture may be considered an ancient Chinese art, it has come to be acknowledged by many medical practitioners as a viable means to achieve relief from a variety of disorders. Pain and chronic conditions not responsive to drugs or other types of therapy can often be resolved through acupuncture.
