People ask all the time, "How does acupuncture work?"

There is no magic to it. Acupuncture helps your body use its own resources to heal by increasing blood flow and boosting endorphins.

Endorphins, the "feel-good" chemicals that you get after exercise, are your body's natural painkillers. Acupuncture increases these awesome chemicals, and helps you live pain-free!

Cupping therapy has been used for centuries to heal structural problems in the body. Low back pain, frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis, chronic muscle knots in the upper back, and scar tissue all benefit from cupping.

Cupping works by breaking small blood vessels and bringing that blood to the surface - resulting in a painless "bruise." By breaking blood vessels, new pathways for blood flow are created. A good supply of blood is essential in having healthy, pain-free muscles.

Are you curious about cupping? It is a complimentary service to our patients with any acupuncture treatment. Call to schedule or request an appointment here:

Today's Part 3/5 of Chinese medical theory will discuss the mighty wood-element: liver.

In Western medicine, the liver "detoxifies" the body. Its function in Chinese medicine is similar in that it stores and replenishes blood as we sleep. The liver also moves energy (Qi) throughout the body.

When the liver is not nourishing the body with blood there can be problems with menstruation, female infertility, numbness and weakness in the limbs, migraines, and poor sleep. When the flow of Qi is disrupted there is pain.

A healthy emotional liver allows us to plan and achieve our goals. The liver is sensitive to stress. A disharmonious liver can leave us feeling purposeless, depressed, anxious, irritable, or angry.

Today's part 2/5 will discuss the metaphorical "sun" in our bodies, the fire-element: heart.

The heart is the master of the body. It is in charge of all mental activities and is the place where a person's spirit resides. A perfect picture of mind-body connection is the heart, because the heart's second major function is blood circulation.

When the heart is out of balance, thoughts and emotions become destructive. Sleep is restless. The heart manifests in the complexion, so the face may become pale, dull, or flushed. An imbalanced heart may cause chest pain.

Be good to your hearts and get some acupuncture to become calm, collected, and feel at peace!

Welcome to part 1 of 5 in Chinese Medical theory! Here we will discuss the earth-element: Spleen.

The spleen is the center of digestion. Functionally, it nourishes your body through the foods you eat. Emotionally, it is in charge of thinking. The spleen "digests" food and information!

When the spleen is out of balance it can manifest as upset stomach, diarrhea, and feeling bloated after eating. It can also manifest on a spiritual level through overthinking, worry, and "mothering" or taking care of others to the point of neglecting yourself. If you crave sweets and chocolate, your spleen may be trying to tell you something.
