Acupuncture reduces inflammation and initiates a response in the brain that releases the natural pain killers called endorphins. It is based on the understanding that there are 12 channels that run throughout the body similiar to an electrical system. These channels have Qi (chee) or energy running through them, and when the Qi gets obstructed and stops flowing smoothly, there is pain or some kind of imbalance.

Acupuncture is used to restore balance. It treats all kinds of pain, and effectively treats many common acute and chronic conditions such as: migraines, high blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety and depression, Bell's palsy, fibromyalgia, respiratory and digestive disorders.

Acupuncture works in a series of treatments dependant on the severity and duration of the condition as well as the response of the patient. During a session, you typically stay clothed. Acupuncture needles are literally "babyhair thin", sterized, and used only once. One of the benefits is that you feel quite refreshed and relaxed after a session.
