Acupuncture for Adults

acupuncture treatment for adults in calgary, alberta

From a Western medicine perspective, acupuncture is a complementary therapy that has gained recognition for its benefits in various health conditions. 

This ancient practice involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy, known as Qi. Research suggests that acupuncture can have physiological effects that contribute to its therapeutic outcomes. Acupuncture can stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers and modulate neurotransmitter levels, such as serotonin and dopamine - which can influence mood and overall well-being. 

Acupuncture has been studied extensively for its effectiveness in managing chronic pain conditions, including back pain, migraines, and osteoarthritis. It is also used to address conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and infertility. When combined with Western medical approaches, acupuncture can provide a holistic and integrative approach to healthcare, offering individuals an additional tool for managing their health concerns.
