Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine sterile needles into a point that consists of a high concentration of mast cells, lymphatic vessels and capillaries. The body is able to regulate a response by sending a signal to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system that creates interactions between the brain, hormones, and different glands. The various feedback loops that occur are what allows the body to heal itself. This form of medicine has been around for thousands of years and continues to show incredible results. It has been recognized by the World Health Organization for many conditions including pain, digestive issues, diabetes, respiratory issues and many more.
