People often pay little attention to their health and wellness until it is threatened. Why worry about some-thing that isn’t yet a problem? Unfortunately the problem is that illness is inevitable, and wellness will not last forever, particularly if it is not consciously maintained and monitored. If people took active steps to balance their mind, body and spirit, we would all live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives. Acupuncture, like most healing arts, is seen as a treatment and not primarily viewed as a tool for maintaining health and preventing medical complications, but it is. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ACUPUNCTURE? Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specified points shown as effective in treatment and prevention of specific health problems. These points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years. Recently, electromagnetic research confirmed their locations. The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems including Muscular Disorders Migraine Headaches Emotional Difficulties Chronic Neck and Back Pain Osteoarthritis Digestive Disorders Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Chronic Duodenal Ulcers Nerve Pain Sciatica Sports Injuries Necological Conditions Partial Weakness After Stroke Uncomplicated Bronchial Asthma Toothaches and Earaches Post Operative Pain & Discomfort We are beginning to understand, however,
that acupuncture can and should be used preventatively to balance your
body, your mind and your spirit in order to help prevent health
problems. Everyone suffers from some type of common complication that
most people just "deal with," such as stress and anxiety,
allergies, moderate levels of depression, sleeping problems, repressed
emotions, etc. Why suffer? Better to treat these minor life disruptions
and help prevent them from escalating into more dangerous illnesses.
