About Acupuncture

                                  Why is Acupuncture included in your Healing Package?

The body is normally polarized more positively along the central axis of the body and more negatively towards the periphery.  However, when injury or disease occurs, the polarity switches at that region, inhibiting the normal membrane transport of the cell. 

Acupuncture effectively returns polarity back to normal, resulting in increased ATP, (the food of the cell), increased membrane transport and normal flow of nutrients and waste materials.
 
Muscles and their tendons attach to bones, therefore muscle tension can pull unevenly on bony structures and may pull the spine back out of alignment even after the initial correction and as the body is restoring itself to better alignment.  As a result, due to a lack of normal nerve transmission from the brain to the various tissues throughout the entire body, the healing and recovery process is adversely affected.  Acupuncture can reduce muscle tension and pain and allow chiropractic adjustments the time needed to get settled.

Acupuncture is also utilized as a stress reducing technique. Stress causes tension and reduces vitality.  Utilizing acupuncture as a stress management tool can help to speed up your recovery.  It will be to your advantage to have extra energy available to help you heal.  During your initial period of care, stress reduction with acupuncture, will conserve the vital energy you need to heal your condition.

Normal joint function requires normal myofascial function and normal myofascial function requires normal joint function.  Neuromuscular strain patterns communicate through fascial webbing pulling the joints out of alignment. Acupuncture is thought to work through the myofascial webbing, easing that strain.

Combining chiropractic and acupuncture in one treatment session addresses both the myofascial function and the joint function, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the time required to heal.
