Acupuncture, a therapeutic intervention used by many medical practitioners as an alternative to traditional medicine, dates back to China some 2,500-years ago. It is still widely practiced in the U.S. today and in many leading chiropractic offices, such as Coastal Wellness Centers, Inc. Acupuncture is the practice of strategically placing small needles at different meridians in your body to promote healing. If the thought of using needles gives you a fright, rest assured that the medical professionals at Coastal Wellness & Fitness are well-trained in the area of acupuncture. They will make you comfortable and put your mind at ease. The procedure is basically pain-free and most report excellent results almost immediately. The goal of an acupuncture treatment is to relieve chronic back pain, muscle pain, and migraines, but can also help with many other conditions and illnesses. Acupuncture is believed to aid in removing blockages and restore energy flow, and to balance your organs, body, and mind.
Acupuncture Can Help with Many Medical Issues and Conditions
Acupuncture is an age-old method of healing that involves penetrating the skin with very thin painless needles placed at specific meridian points on the body. According to Chinese medicine, acupuncture, when performed by a licensed professional, corrects imbalances of energy in the body. But the Mayo Clinic reports that many Western practitioners also view it as a way to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue and that stimulation boosts our body’s natural immune system. At Coastal Wellness & Fitness, we use only the most proven acupuncture techniques to target the areas where you need the most relief. Many of these “acupoints” are located throughout your body each point corresponding to a meridian or Qi being targeted for relief.
