Acupuncture

Acupuncture is finally gaining the recognition it deserves in Western medicine. Many physical health conditions can be effectively treated and managed with acupuncture, when used alongside chiropractic care.

We use acupuncture for painful conditions and neurological conditions such as neuropathy. The acupuncture is meant as an adjunctive therapy to be used with chiropractic treatment as there is often a spinal component to neuropathy. Acupuncture is useful in increasing circulation to help nerves heal. It is also useful in lowering pain due to the release of endorphins, the body's own pain-relieving feel-good chemicals. Both of these effects have recently been scientifically validated, though those effects have been relied on for thousands of years!
