Acupuncture in Mount Pearl
As a holistic health technique that’s a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. It’s utilized worldwide to successfully address a broad array of conditions.
We’re proud to be able to offer this therapy to our patients!
How Does It Work?
Acupuncture works with the channels in the body. There are pathways that run from head to toe. The theory behind it is it moves stagnation in the body. Acupuncture works in that way from a full body aspect, and it also releases healthy endorphins.
The primary benefits of acupuncture are that it reduces stress, relieves pain, quickens blood flow and enhances overall well-being. In fact, we see many patients who come in seeking acupuncture as a preventative or maintenance approach to health.
What About Those Needles?
Some people may want to try acupuncture but are reluctant to do so because of the needles. It’s important to note that getting acupuncture is not like getting a vaccine. We use hair-like, disposable needs and the process isn’t painful. We find that some people don’t even realize the needles have been inserted. Our acupuncturist also can perform acupressure.
