History and Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture, a 3,000-year-old traditional health technique, is an increasingly popular way to promote optimal health. As a holistic medicinal procedure, acupuncture can help to give your body the attention it needs.

Acupuncture Promotes Optimal Health

Origins and history—The practice of acupuncture began 3,000 years ago in China and spread throughout East Asia as a holistic approach to stimulate normal body functions. Because it eliminates disruptions in the body, acupuncture quickly gained appeal, and in the 1970s, acupuncture became a practicable remedy in the United States.
How acupuncture works—This technique involves inserting thin needles in targeted areas of the body. Inserting these needles at various depths, the flow of energy in your body can be repaired and restored, and damages in the body can be healed.
Treatments are relatively pain-free—Even though acupuncture uses needles, the procedure generally does not hurt, and the benefits greatly outweigh any minor discomfort or soreness that you may experience after the treatment is over.
Benefits of acupuncture—Acupuncture can resolve various ailments, including pain, headaches, depression, and anxiety. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response because of the needles inserted into the skin, your body will repair itself, promoting optimal health and reversing pain.
