Orthopedic Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the use of very fine, sterile, stainless steel needles inserted at various points around the body.  Modern research has shown that acupuncture has wide reaching effects throughout the body.  It promotes local and systemic blood circulation, influences the central nervous system, stimulates dopamine production, speeds the healing process from traumatic injury, can restore hormone balance, and helps bring the body back to a state of rest and balance by impacting the parasympathetic nervous system.  This makes acupuncture a versatile method of healing that can treat a wide range of disease states in the body.
