Acupuncture in Palos Heights

Acupuncture in Palos Heights: Dr. Jonihakis believes in holistic wellness and is licensed to perform acupuncture treatments!  Acupuncture can be effective in treating illnesses, injuries, chronic pain, addictions, anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, menstrual cramps, weight control, infertility and more.

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.
