Contemporary Medical Acupuncture

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is an evidence-based form of acupuncture used to relieve pain, alter movement patterns, and improve performance and function.  It is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which fine acupuncture needles are inserted into anatomical sites.  The needles are then stimulated with electricity for the therapeutic purpose of altering abnormal activity of the nervous system, to relieve pain and/or other dysfunctions.  There are many benefits of acupuncture which include: pain relief, decrease inflammation, improved blood flow, stress reduction, and improved organ function. It is a very safe and effective method of treatment and most patients feel minimal to no discomfort as the needles are inserted.
