What is acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.
How can acupuncture help with pain?
Acupuncture uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body. Research suggests acupuncture can influence pain signaling and nervous-system activity, and it is used as a complementary treatment for several types of musculoskeletal and chronic pain. Your treatment may focus both on the area where you’re experiencing pain and other points selected based on your individual symptoms.
The goal is simple: Reduce pain. Support recovery. Improve function.
