Acupuncture acts through the nervous system which is the chemical-electrical signal within brain and body. Adding electrical stimulation allows different neurotransmitters to be targeted and the amount of stimulation to be quantified.

External Medicine

External medicine or physical medicine concern the somatic body of muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. Acupuncture treats tight, spasmed muscles by addressing trigger points; this also can be called “dry needling.” Tight muscles can also be a symptom of overall stress activation in the body-mind. Acupuncture increases circulation, relieves pain and decreases inflammation which has shown good result in knee osteoarthritis but can apply to any joint. Acupuncture benefit can be focused to any tissue level and is an excellent choice to treat tendonitis.

Internal Medicine

The overall effect of acupuncture is to restore balance to the “rest, digest, repair” portion of the nervous system. Stress keeps out body’s blood flow in the skeletal muscles to fight or run away while acupuncture aids in the recovery from sudden and chronic stressors and returns blood to nourish organs function.
