ARTRHTIS
Acupuncture can help relieve arthritis pain.
Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. It affects millions of people worldwide. Inserting an acupuncture needle induces the production of cortisol, a hormone that helps control inflammation. Additionally, acupuncture may also stimulate the activity of other pain-relieving chemicals in the body as well.
CIRCULATORY PROBLEMS
Acupuncture helps improve the circulation of blood.
Acupuncture focuses on the natural energy of the body. Blood circulation can be improved naturally throughout the body by stimulating the release of stagnant energy. Acupuncture dilates constricted blood vessels that inhibit blood flow while enhancing nutrient distribution and waste removal.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Acupuncture helps balance the nervous system.
By focusing on the natural energy of the body, acupuncture helps regulate and balance the nervous system. Balancing the nervous system helps reduce hyperactivity stress which in turn helps improve the function of the gut. This process helps regulate acid production and natural peristalsis which helps decrease pain and inflammation.
MUSCLE PAIN
Acupuncture helps relieve pain.
Muscle tightness can happen for many reasons and whether it’s stress, fitness, or other factors, acupuncture may help alleviate the pain. Many people find the relief of muscle pain and overall body pain with the help of acupuncture.
PARALYSIS
Acupuncture may help the movement of the body.
People with paralysis often find remarkable results with the help of acupuncture. Scalp acupuncture is frequently used in the rehabilitation of paralysis due to stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
Acupuncture helps build and strengthen the lungs.
In traditional Chinese Medicine, the lungs are very important because they are considered the most external of the internal organs. Acupuncture helps build and strengthen the energy within the respiratory system. Acupuncture helps stimulate blood flow which carries oxygen to every cell in the body.
WEIGHT CONTROL
Acupuncture helps regulate hormones.
The regulation of hormones is important for many reasons, however, it plays a key role in weight loss. Acupuncture can help with weight loss by regulating hormone production, optimizing digestion, reducing inflammation, suppressing the appetite, reducing water retention, and helping optimize other bodily functions that relate to weight loss.
