What is acupuncture and how can it help you?

Acupuncture

Originating over 3,000 years ago in ancient China, acupuncture and herbal medicine served as the primary form of health care for many years, used to treat a whole host of illnesses and ailments. Although acupuncture is not yet fully understood by Western science, current research continues to show its’ effectiveness in treating a wide variety of conditions.

An acupuncturist gently inserts very, very thin needles into the skin at various points and in combinations that stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue and increases blood flow. This triggers the body’s natural painkillers as well as a whole cascade of other hormones and neurotransmitters.

Affinity Acupuncture specializes in effective pain management, fertility treatment, and holistic health. Read more about some of the conditions we specialize in below.

FAQ

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture uses tiny needles to stimulate the body’s healing ability. No one knows how to heal your body better than your body. Acupuncture brings the body back to a state of homeostasis, encouraging the body to function optimally in order to heal and repair. Acupuncture addresses the underlying root of the issue to not only address symptoms but also improve overall wellbeing.

Will it hurt?

No! The needles used are comparable in width to a single strand of hair, making the experience very comfortable. Many come in very nervous for their first treatment but find the whole experience to be essentially painless and even relaxing.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes! Acupuncturists are highly trained and specialized in needling therapy. An acupuncturist must obtain at least a Master’s degree in acupuncture and pass national board exams before becoming licensed. The needles used are high quality, sterile, and single-use, making the entire experience very safe.

What can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture treats a wide variety of conditions. It is especially effective for pain of any kind. However, acupuncture can address more than just pain including fertility, hormone imbalances, PMS, stress, anxiety, digestive issues, sleep struggles, and so much more! See here for more info.
