Acupuncture has been practiced for centuries as an effective modality for treating numerous ailments from acute pain to chronic injuries. It can speed healing of acute conditions like muscle spasms, sprains and headaches and also encourage healing of chronic issues such as low back pain and repetitive strain injuries.
Acupuncture treatments are a very beneficial component to a pro-active health care regime. Treatments once a month can be successful at boosting the immune system, increasing red blood cell production, helping achieve optimal athletic performance, and restoring balance within the body. They can improve sleep, digestion and can even decrease stress and depression.
The treatments are provided in a quiet, tranquil space where the client often falls asleep. Once the body is in a relaxed state, a flow of energy or Qi, begins to warm and travel throughout the body’s pathways called meridians, encouraging renewal and circulation. You will continue to benefit from this treatment long after you leave the studio. |
