Acupuncture Visit at Nature Cures Clinic

Acupuncture is based upon a simple premise: we experience symptoms because energy is not moving freely through our body. The type and severity of symptoms is determined by the amount and type of blockage of the flow of energy, or as it is called in Chinese medicine, “qi.”

Acupuncture is a central component of Chinese medicine, and has been studied extensively by the conventional medical establishment. Studies have found it to work significantly better than placebo – and often better than medications – for a wide range of conditions, including headaches, low back pain, menopausal hot flashes, allergies and many others.

It is typically used in conjunction with Chinese herbal formulas, another complex system of medicine that complements acupuncture very well.

The acupuncture visits typically last for 30-45 minutes. They can be scheduled with any of the five clinic acupuncturists.  Acupuncture treatments are commonly incorporated into comprehensive treatment programs because they complement all naturopathic therapies that might be used in a treatment plan.  Acupuncture is very effective in the treatment of a wide range of symptoms, including headaches, allergies, digestive issues, pain, chronic fatigue, dermatitis and many other issues.
