Point locations traverse channels known as meridians according to Chinese Medicine Theory. Acupuncture is part of the Chinese Medicine System derived from 2500 years of experience and observation in treating a multitude of human diseases. Acupuncture treats the body as an entire system of health as opposed to Dry Needling, which focuses more on local trigger point release. Acupuncture can be used for any condition. I have particular results with any acute/chronic pain i.e. neck, back, elbow, knee, hip, jaw, shoulder. Internal conditions such as stress, insomnia, digestive and gynecological issues are also treatable with acupuncture.
