Contemporary Medical Acupuncture
How Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Works:
The insertion of very fine acupuncture needles into specific neuromuscular sites on the body, stimulates the natural healing response within the tissue. After a careful and in-depth functional examination of the body, our healthcare practitioner will determine which tissues (nerve, muscle, ligament, tendon, fascia) require stimulation. The stimulation may be done manually, or electricity may be added to increase the healing response or activate a muscular contraction. This effective neuromuscular technique can be very valuable in correcting improper motor/movement patterns and modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system, such as pain syndromes, sciatica, and neuropathic pain.
