The balance of your health is influenced by many factors in your daily life including physical activity, diet, stress, sleep, aging, and environmental effects.

Regular acupuncture treatments are an effective way to support your ability to manage the conditions of these variables, maintain a positive quality of life, and reduce your risk of debility and chronic disease. For this reason, Acupuncture is heralded world-wide for its desired results as preventive medicine.

Trigger points are tight bands or knots in muscles and soft tissue that are commonly the source of pain and stiffness that can lead to chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction.

Acupuncture can be very effective in treating trigger points since it can directly access specific muscles to deactivate spasms and reset muscular imbalances. This is achieved by eliciting a local twitch or release in the muscle fibers through careful stimulation of the nerves that control muscle contraction.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to effectively manage the symptoms of a wide variety of diseases and reverse the progress of chronic illness. More recently, it has been merited by the mainstream health community in assisting in the treatment of many diagnoses and sub-clinical conditions. Acupuncture is proving to be a mainstay in our health care system as research continues to validate the rich history of successful claims and anecdotal evidence.

The application of gentle electrical currents through acupuncture needles are especially useful in treating acute physical injuries and neurological diseases including numbness/tingling, pain, spasm, and paralysis.

The electrical currents are gradually delivered to an intensity that is determined by the patient to maintain within a comfort level.
