ACUPUNCTURE / CUPPING

Acupuncture originated in China over 2000 years ago and is one of the oldest and most commonly performed types of medical procedure. According to Chinese medicine, the body transmits energy or qi (pronounced chee) through pathways or meridians in the body. The balanced Yin and Yang account for a person's overall health. Acupuncture targets more than 2000 acupuncture points along these pathways to ensure the proper flow of energy through the body acupuncture works by breaking any blockages that may be located along the meridians to ensure the proper flow of energy through the body. This relieves pain, stimulates healing and promotes physical and emotional health.

Cupping is another form of traditional Chinese medicine. When muscles are tight to restrict the flow of blood and water through the tissues, this can result in the build up of toxins. Cupping helps to pull toxins and stagnant blood to the surface of the skin were they can be purged from the body by drinking water. By removing the toxins and stagnant blood, circulation of new blood to the tissues can occur, improving muscle function and providing relief of pain.

Our experienced acupuncturists use multiple techniques, whether it's traditional acupuncture, cupping or using muscle stimulators, to improve health.
