What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient medical practice that dates back for at least 2,000 years and is evolving into modern mainstream medicine all over the world. Acupuncture is a method of reinforcing the body's  own innate healing abilities using very fine, single use and sterile needles in specific points all over the body.

Acupuncture Side Effects

Warning: It is best to receive acupuncture from a Licensed Acupuncturist who spent years in school studying the art of acupuncture and receiving hundreds of hours of clinical practice. There are massage therapists, physical therapists and MD's that have only received a certificate in acupuncture with only a few weekends of training or less. This inadequate amount of training time does not provide a patient with an actual acupuncture treatment and can potentially be dangerous to a patient. Inserting acupuncture needles into a persons body is a serious thing and harm can be done if there isn't enough prior training. Please be sure to ask about your acupuncturists training before you go for a treatment.

Acupuncture For Neck Pain

Neck pain can be very debilitating, besides being painful and uncomfortable it can restrict range of motion, cause headaches,  reduce quality of sleep and even cause numbness down the arms into the hands. Depending on the severity of the issue, which includes the quality of pain(sharp or a dull ache) and how long its been around, acupuncture can be very effective.
