Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine used to alleviate pain and promote overall health.

Acupuncture uses needles placed along invisible meridians that run throughout the body. Today, practitioners also use lasers, magnets and electric pulses in addition to needles. Each meridian point has a specific meaning and can unblock and repair meridians and channels with vital energy or chi. Through the stimulation of the meridians, an acupuncturist is able to restore balance and ergo health to the patient.

Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of health problems, such as:

• Persistent lower back pain
• Chronic tension-type headaches and migraines
• Neck pain
• Joint pain
• Postoperative pain
• Allergies
• Depression and anxiety
• Insomnia

Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes, and focuses as much on the prevention of illness as on the treatment. Call our Sulphur Springs office at 903-919-5020 to ask whether acupuncture may be right for you.
