Acupuncture has been used for centuries as a holistic form of medicine.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of many conditions including acute injuries, arthritis and headaches.
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a scientific refinement for the treatment of pain conditions, as well as performance and sports injuries. Research is ongoing to demonstrate that acupuncture has the following effects:
- Decreases pain and inflammation
- Increases circulation and promotes tissue
healing
- Increases range of motion
- Increases strength
- Promotes rehabilitation of the joints, nerves,
muscles, and other soft tissues
Development of modern technology allows for
acupuncture to be performed gently and without
needles.
If needles are used, they are pre-sterilized and used only once.
