Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve function. This is done by inserting sterilized, stainless-steel needles into specific points located near or on the surface of the skin which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to treat a wide variety of illnesses.

History of acupuncture: The ancient Chinese found energy channels that they call meridians that run throughout the body. They found that there were 360 points on the body throughout these meridians. By targeting certain points, Qi (energy) is altered. By altering the flow of Qi helps to treat different conditions. Medically, the needles that are inserted in the skin help to stimulate blood flow. Blood has healing elements that help to break up scar tissue and decrease inflammation which intern helps to decreases pain and symptoms.

Acupuncture can help musculoskeletal conditions including neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, headaches, muscle aches and spasms, pain management, sprains and strains and a variety of other conditions.

Myofascial Release: Fascia is a thin tissue that covers all the organs of the body. This tissue covers every muscle and every fiber within each muscle. All muscle stretching, then, is actually stretching of the fascia and the muscle, the myofascial unit. When muscle fibers are injured, the fibers and the fascia which surrounds it become short and tight. This uneven stress can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn’t expect. Myofascial Release treats these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia.
