Acupuncture: What Is It?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine used to alleviate pain and promote overall health. Acupuncture uses needles placed along invisible meridians that run throughout the body. Today, acupuncturists also use lasers, magnets and electric pulses in addition to needles. Each meridian point has a specific meaning and can unblock and repair meridians and channels with vital energy or chi. Through the stimulation of the meridians, an acupuncturist is able to restore balance and ergo health to the patient.
Dr. Smith has been licensed since 2002 in the art and healing method of acupuncture. It is painless and very relaxing. We treat mostly muscle pain and spasm but also perform the treatment in addiction therapy to include our most popular smoking cessation program.
