Over the past 2,000 years, more people have been successfully treated with acupuncture and herbs than with all other health remedies combined. Today, acupuncture is practiced widely in Asia as well as in Eastern and Western Europe.

While many people know that acupuncture is helpful for pain relief, they may be surprised to learn of the many other ailments that have been successfully treated.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has researched the effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese medicine for treatment of many diseases and found it to be successful, particularly in the following areas:

  • chronic & acute pain
  • acupuncture pictureheadaches & migraines
  • arthritis and joint pain
  • fertility & in vitro fertilization (IVF) enhancement
  • anxiety & depression
  • insomnia & sleep disorders
  • stress related disorders
  • allergies & sinus problems
  • PMS & gynecological problems
  • chronic fatigue
  • nausea & vomiting
  • digestive disorders
  • autoimmune diseases
  • addictions & smoking cessation
  • increased health & vitality

The classic Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that channels of energy run throughout the body and over its surface. These energy channels are called meridians and are likened to rivers flowing through the body to nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the flow of energy is like a dam that backs up the flow in one part of the body and restricts it in others.

The meridians are influenced by needling the acupuncture points, which unblocks the obstructions and reestablishes regular energy flow. The acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in digestion, absorption, and energy production. The modern scientific explanation is that needling acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain.

These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
