What is acupuncture, and is it right for you?
Acupuncture stands as a remarkable practice, tracing its roots back to ancient Chinese medicine, and gained popularity as a holistic approach to health and wellness. Acupuncture practice revolves around the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), which is believed to be the body’s vital energy that flows along pathways called meridians. This technique involves the insertion of ultra-thin needles into specific acupuncture points along meridian channels in the body. Acupuncture has many health benefits and can be used to effectively release tension, relieve pain, diminish stress, promote digestive health, and promote blood circulation.

How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture stimulates natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body, including a combination of endorphins and neurotransmitters. The release of these chemicals triggers the brain’s pain receptors to experience less pain.
Acupuncture also enhances blood flow to areas affected by muscle tension, promoting natural healing and aiding in the recovery process by boosting circulation to these injured areas.
During your first session, our acupuncturist at Physio In the Six Inc. will discuss your condition, review your medical history, and describe how treatment will benefit you. Next, your provider will examine your body and meridian channels for the areas that will best respond to acupuncture treatments.
The needles we use are sterile, disposable, and extremely thin. Needles will be inserted at various depths (but never deep) depending on your condition. Your specialized acupuncturist will determine the length of time the needles will remain inserted to get the best results for your complaint.
We also offer Facial Acupuncture, known as micro-needling, focused on improving the skin, fine lines, and wrinkles on the face, neck, and hairline. Acupuncture can also be performed in conjunction with other traditional treatment methods, such as GuaSha and Cupping.
