You don’t have to live with pain.

Dr. Jacquelyn Nicholls, DC

Acupuncture is a minimally invasive, non-painful treatment that works by modulating the nervous system to restore its function. Given the nervous system’s connection with nearly every cell in the body, acupuncture can be used to help with problems based on muscles or joints all over the body or in the organs of the abdomen and thorax. Acupuncture carries with it very few side effects when used by trained professionals. Acupuncture is a precise nerve stimulation technique, that uses fine acupuncture needles that are inserted into the body, and stimulated with electricity for the purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system.

FAQS

  • How does acupuncture work?

    Contemporary Medical Acupuncture’s primary benefit is to restore the proper function of the nervous system by either the up-regulation or down-regulation of specific cellular functions.

    To put it simply, if the nervous system is hyper-active as seen in stress and chronic pain cases or hypo-active as seen in muscle inhibition and weakness, we need to bring it back to a normal, optimal level of function by either turning it down or turning it up respectively.

    Essentially, we are adjusting the “dimmer” switch you would use in a home for controlling the level of light output.

    Acupuncture aims to bridge the gap between classical acupuncture therapy and contemporary medicine to achieve their ultimate integration. Quite often you will see this technique referred to as, Neurofunctional Acupuncture because it is rooted in current concepts of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and pathophysiology.

  • How often is Acupuncture necessary?

    Similar to your Chiropractic Care, acupuncture visits vary depending on the patient’s conditions. A treatment plan will be discussed with each patient during their visit.
