Acupuncture Treatment

While acupuncture developed as traditional Chinese medicine, many western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Many believe that this stimulation boosts your body’s natural painkillers.

Most people’s immediate reaction to acupuncture is does acupuncture work? The NCCIH has stated that acupuncture has been proven to help in cases of low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, osteoarthritis, headaches and migraines. The World Health Organization, as recently as 2003, has also stated that acupuncture has been proven effective in relieving facial pain, morning sickness, sprains, tennis elbow, sciatica , and more.

Acupuncture is a commonly utilized treatment for alleviating discomfort related to various diseases and conditions such as dental pain, headaches/migraines, labor pain, back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, respiratory disorders, or allergic rhinitis. While the risks associated with acupuncture are generally minimal, individuals with bleeding disorders, pacemakers, or those who are pregnant may experience complications. Dr. Walker and his team will offer guidance on whether acupuncture is a suitable option for you.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites that are commonly referred to as acupuncture points. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. There are hundreds of acupoints in the body along 14 major meridians, also called energy-carrying channels. These acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system which, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes can stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and help the body to:

• Rebalance itself
• React to an illness or symptom
• Release natural chemicals such as endorphins (the body’s natural pain-killing chemical)
• Trigger neurotransmitters (the body’s chemical messengers) to control nerve impulses
• Promote physical and emotional well-being
