Acupuncture can be used as a supplemental therapy along with chiropractic care or massage therapy. The proof of acupuncture’s effectiveness is in its longevity of being practiced. In Chinese Medicine, energy in our bodies flow through channels called meridians. This energy called Qi, pronounced as “chee”, can get blocked and out of balance, leading to illness. These blockages can be caused by external factors (weather, physical trauma, etc.) or internal factors (stress, unhealthy diets, etc.).
The very fine acupuncture needles placed on identified points, assist to unblock the Qi and bring us back to balance. There is no western medical explanation for Qi; however, there is over 5,000 years of empirical evidence proving the effectiveness of acupuncture.
Acupuncture can treat a countless symptoms and conditions including:
My satisfaction started the minute I called the office. The person who gave me the appointment made me feel welcome. The doctor was very polite and knowledgeable. I saw him after I developed back pain resulting from MVA. He worked on my back to relieve the pain. He also advised me what kind of exercise I should do at home. I am pain free now. I can sleep well. I can climb hills and can lift weight. Thank you Dr Jon
