In the United States, Acupuncture has been increasingly embraced by physicians and patients alike. Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles at very precise acupuncture points. The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up. The modern scientific explanation is that needling the 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.

Acupuncture can be quite helpful in many different kinds of pain situations. It has been used successfully for a wide variety of chronic pain conditions, including herpes zoster (shingles), trigeminal neuralgia; in a wide variety of muscular skeletal pains; and in all kinds of tendinitis and soft tissue pain.  At Power Healing, Acupuncture is often used in combination with physiotherapy, massage, & other  treatment modalities.
