Acupuncture in Dardenne Prairie

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an integral component of traditional Chinese medicine. The theory is; for optimal health, the body is in a state of no energy (known as Qi) interference. When there is either excess or a deficiency in the body's Qi (energy), symptoms such as pain or illness arise. A licensed acupuncturist from our Dardenne Prairie chiropractic clinic like Dr. Amanda can do an exam to determine which meridian is out of balance and correct it using specific points.

How Does Acupuncture Work In Dardenne Prairie?

Acupuncture treatments boost the immune system, encouraging the body to function properly. The needles also stimulate the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and noradrenaline. These have a tremendous effect on mood disorders like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acupuncture is thought to increase the body's blood supply while releasing endorphins, this in turn reduces pain and promotes faster healing.
