Treating with Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a type of alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of solid, generally thin needles in the body. 

Traditional theory of acupuncture works through the manipulation of qi (a hypothesized form of energy) through the needling of specific acupuncture points that are connected by channels known as meridians. The purpose of acupuncture is to adjust the nervous system functioning, bringing it into a homeostatic state, and enhance performance in daily activities.

How is Acupuncture different from IMS?

During a treatment session, Acupuncture needles are inserted into a certain number of acupuncture points and remain for the duration of the treatment. The needles regulate the nervous system while they are in the body. 

While IMS technique uses the same acupuncture needles, the method of treatment is quite different. During IMS treatment, the needles are stimulated and instantly removed.
