Traditional Acupuncture takes an energetic approach to
pathologies. By inserting needles into specific points on the
body, they can either suppress or stimulate muscles and other
soft tissues. It opens the flow of energy (Qi), increases
circulation, and promotes healing in the affected area and
compensating structures. Acupuncture is a wonderful alternative
to healing when an injury is too acute to apply direct pressure
to the area. Acupuncture involves the use of other modalities
such as: - The Electro-stimulation machine which serves to break
the pain cycle and generate electric impulses between the
needles. - Auricular treatments which involve stimulation of the
ear using tiny needles to provide direct neural connection to
the brain to speed the healing process. - Cupping Massage which
is used to drain excess fluids and toxins in the body by
creating a suction type of pressure using glass cups on the
skin. It stimulates the nervous system to initiate blood flow to
stagnant muscles, and to loosen adhesions
