Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine which evolved from clinical observation. The Chinese ancients carefully observed the results of certain actions and formed theories about what was happening using their concept of chi (qi) or energy. These results occur and are repeatable. That is to say, Acupuncture works and works well.
Very fine needles are inserted into specific body locations to generate a mild sensation described as a feeling of distension, heaviness, numbness or perhaps even sometimes a dull ache. This indicates that energy is moving along the meridian pathways and a favorable result to the treatment is anticipated.
For best results:
· Drink plenty of water, before and after your treatment.
· Avoid arriving for treatment when hungry, after a big meal, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
· Allow for some relaxation time after your treatment.
