Acupuncture

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient and widely revered medical technique that uses the art of precision to carefully and strategically insert fine, sterile needles through the skin at specific pressure points on the body called acupoints. While the procedure looks rather painful, it is pain-free for most people. In fact, a good number of patients find it so relaxing they find themselves falling asleep during sessions.

Acupuncture originated in China over 5,000 years ago. Over the years, some variations of acupuncture have been introduced like laser acupuncture and electro-acupuncture.

Benefits of the Visit to Acupuncture Clinic in Newmarket

Acupuncture has proven to effectively reduce pain and discomfort resulting from illness or injury. Many patients report that their pain has subsided due to acupuncture, so much so that many are able to eliminate their pain medication.

Acupuncture also:
Improves Electromagnetic Signals – Research shows that acupuncture points conduct electromagnetic signals and simulating these points encourages electromagnetic signals to be transmitted quicker than usual along the pathway. Some studies point to the possibility of these signals triggering biochemicals like endorphins. Cells of the immune system are also stimulated by acupuncture to address injury or disease.
Activates Opioid Systems – the release of opioids into the central nervous system during an acupuncture treatment can reduce pain.
Influences Brain Chemistry, Sensation, and Involuntary Body Functions – research shows that acupuncture may be effective in changing brain chemistry by altering the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones. It also influences the area of the central nervous system that is responsible for sensation and involuntary body functions like immune responses, blood pressure, and body temperature.
Acupuncture is also proven to combat the following symptoms:
Anxiety
Insomnia
Digestive Problems
Common Cold/Flu
Menstrual Problems
Weight Control
Infertility
Chronic Fatigue
Depression
Allergies
Fibromyalgia
