WILL ACUPUNCTURE "FIX" ME? Yes & no. Acupuncturists are not allowed to use the word fix or cure but your body fixes itself ultimately; acupuncture just opens the door. For issues of physical trauma (for example, speeding up the healing of a broken bone, tendonitis, sprains, carpal tunnel, side-effects of chemo, etc), the treatments are fairly simple and "fix" you. Addressing non-trauma problems will require your active participation. The fundamental truth is that your bod...y is wise; you do not have symptoms for no reason. This means that your symptoms are not independent of you, your lifestyle, or the choices you make in life. Therefore, to really heal, you have to listen and act on what your body is telling you about yourself and the way you deal with life issues. So yes, acupuncture can fix you, if you are willing to take responsibility and fix yourself. See more

HOW DOES IT WORK? Acupuncture treats your body, mind and spirit as a whole. In Asian medicine, wherever pain or illness shows up, it is about unbalance. Acupuncture addresses the life energy that flows through the body, called Qi (pronounced "chee"). Qi is carried through the body in meridians, which act like roads. When this energy flows smoothly, you live in ease. When it is blocked, the result is pain or illness on a physical, emotional or spiritual level. I help you repai...r yourself by unblocking and redirecting the energy flow to achieve maximum wellness. From a Western Biomedical standpoint, there are various theories for why it works. One thought is that acupuncture releases endorphins, which it does, but that isn't the whole explanation. A recent fMRI study found electrical micro channels that cross and connect the whole body; the researcher suggested that by changing the flow of electrical energy, acupuncture affects the electro-chemical responses of the body. Whichever explanation appeals to you, the undisputed fact is that acupuncture works! See more
