Acupuncture
Acupuncture consists of introducing very fine needles into strategic points of the body in order to restore a person’s energy balance. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), when a person’s energy balance is out of sync the body will suffer from discomfort and irritation. When properly balanced, health and wellness is easier to attain and be restored.
The hair thin acupuncture needles are inserted into specific areas of the body to stimulate the body’s energy flow, which in turn signals the nervous and immune systems to inhibit pain and resolve illness. Acupuncture is a highly effective way of treating a multitude of illnesses and chronic conditions. The Balanced Well Health Center takes into account each patient’s health history and recommends acupuncture based on each individual’s needs. This is part of our interdisciplinary approach to your treatment, considering the whole body rather than just attempting to treat symptoms.
