What is Acupuncture?

The practice of acupuncture has been popular in East Asia for centuries and has recently become more popular in Western culture as well. The practice of acupuncture focuses on taking thin, small needles and using them to stimulate certain points under the skin. Those who use acupuncture have received training on the circulation of the body's various fluids, understanding how needles placed at these locations may influence this flow. By using these needles to influence how certain substances flow throughout the body, a wide variety of health needs can be addressed. This will allow individuals who have been living in pain or dealing with certain medical conditions to feel better.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Many people in the Western world believe that acupuncture works by targeting certain nerves underneath the skin. When these nerves are stimulated by a needle, this nerve sends signals throughout the body. These signals cause the body to release certain hormones that make the body feel better. Western scientists are still studying acupuncture, always looking for ways to improve it and make it better. This is the goal of alternative medicine. The patient's needs should always come first. At NYC Chiropractic and Spinal Decompression Center, we believe the same thing and always place our patients first.
