According to the Chinese, there is a network of energy that flows through the body and connects these points through different channels called "meridians".  These channels are related to specific internal functions and any imbalance in the flow of energy creates a disease process.  The applications of acupuncture can correct this imbalance.  Many physician scientists have shown that acupuncture treatment can cause the release of endorphins, natural pain-relieving substances found in the brain and the spinal cord.  This may explain how acupuncture is helpful in relieving pain.  

Of the several unconventional therapies being practiced in the United States, acupuncture appears to be growing at a rapid rate.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that 9-12 million acupuncture treatments are now being performed annually by United States practitioners.

     Supporters of acupuncture assert that this remedy is more accessible, safer and less expensive than conventional therapy and provides a surgery-free approach to alleviating suffering related to chronic health problems.

Acupuncture for Quit Smoking

Discover the effectiveness of acupuncture in smoking cessation, transforming countless smokers into permanent ex-smokers. Tailored treatments consider your unique symptoms, striving to rebalance your body's energy for optimal health. This alternative approach garners a growing number of enthusiasts, specifically targeting common withdrawal complaints like jitters, cravings, irritability, and restlessness. Utilizing hair-thin needles, strategically inserted at various points in the body, acupuncture promotes relaxation and detoxification. Tiny ear pellets, placed between sessions, offer on-demand relief, minimizing cravings and providing a continuous calming stimulus. Notably, acupuncture simultaneously curbs tobacco and food cravings, mitigating concerns about weight gain. While not a magic cure, acupuncture significantly eases the quitting process, aiding in the journey to a smoke-free and healthier life.

Acupuncture for Allergies

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture and Chinese herbs, offers a safe, effective natural approach to treating allergies. Allergic rhinitis, viewed in TCM as a result of Lung and Kidney Defensive-Qi deficiency and chronic "Wind" retention in the nose, can be significantly alleviated with TCM acupuncture. By promoting healthy qi flow through the body's meridians, TCM aims to tackle the root immune system imbalance causing allergies. Studies show acupuncture can ease seasonal allergy symptoms, potentially reducing the need for allergy medication.

Acupuncture for Weight management

The beauty of acupuncture is that each treatment is catered to the needs of the individual patient. Acupuncture points on the body will be chosen for overall well being with the objective of increasing circulation of the blood and Qi (stimulating the metabolism) and calming the nervous system. Generally treatments are scheduled once or twice a week for 8 to 12 weeks or until the goal weight has been reached. The treatments include a combination of auricular (ear) and body acupuncture, ear tacks or pellets to leave on in-between treatments, herbs and supplements, abdominal massage, breathing exercises, and food and lifestyle recommendations. Acupuncture points on the ears have been found to be particularly effective for weight loss.

Acupuncture for Lower Back pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical attention. It is one of the most frequent causes of missed workdays and one of the most expensive conditions in the United States; according to a recent government report, in 1999, nearly one million people in the U.S. took time away from work to treat and recover from some sort of back pain. Back pain also called Lumbago which discussed in the following is mainly caused by chronic sprain of the lumber muscles and protrusion of lumber intervertebral disc.    One recent review of 22 acupuncture studies showed that it provided short-term relief from chronic back pain. It also showed there was greater improvement in pain for people who got acupuncture compared to those who received a “sham” treatment.   Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that back pain is mainly caused by retention of pathological wind, cold and dampness in the meridians; or by malnutrition of the meridians and tendons due to kidney asthenia; or by inhibited flow of qi and blood in the meridians due to overstrain and impairment.

COsmetic acupuncture

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as "acupuncture face lift " and "facial rejuvenation" is a form of acupuncture that reduces fine lines and wrinkles of the face. Cosmetic Acupuncture is a holistic, natural, safe and effective way to rejuvenate your face. Cosmetic acupuncture is done in the same fashion as acupuncture done for general health and specific conditions, with the goal of creating collagen just under the skin to help fill in wrinkles and plump skin. Like traditional acupuncture, the cosmetic version also aims to balance the body’s energy and create a sense of well-being.
