Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. The Chinese have mapped these points over 2,500 years and recently electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations.

Modern Science explains the functions of acupuncture in the following way. Needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals (i.e. - endorphins) in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain or they will trigger the other chemicals and hormones which influence the bodies own internal regulating system to heal itself.

Microcurrent Therapy is a form of electro acupuncture. It uses currents graduated in the millionth of an amp range, whereas most electronic devices (i.e. TENS units) use currents in the thousands of an amp range. The microcurrent is a more gentle way of treating, does not put the muscles into spasm, and is far more effective.

The weaker stimuli increases physiologic activity, whereas the stronger stimuli inhibit or abolish activity. These subtle electrical discharges can relieve pain and promote homeostasis by balancing the positive and negative ionic currents in the body. This treatment can be done with or without needles, for those patients who want pain relief, but are needle phobic. Best of all, when using microcurrents, the patient does not feel a thing.
