Acupuncture is a primary medical system that is one of the oldest healing methods on the planet for over 3500 years, helping prevent, heal, and manage health conditions. Based on the idea that your Qi (your body’s vital energy) flows along meridians (channels) in the body, and if the flow of Qi along these meridians is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur. The familiar yet tricky question that follows is, “How does It Work?”

 

There are two essential explanations to this question that must be considered. Foremost, it works by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms, by creating a alert that goes directly to the brain and communicates something is wrong – and the brain responds by sending the appropriate restorative responders through your nerves, hormones, fascia, and gases.

 

A Harvard study even found that Acupuncture was more effective for treating back and neck pain, osteoarthritis, chronic headache, and shoulder pain then Morphine. In light of the nationwide opioid crisis, doctors and patients are finally turning to Acupuncture more and more as a drug-free alternative to traditional pain management solutions. The benefits of acupuncture are increasing circulation, calming the nervous system, and decreasing pain in the muscular and nervous system. At kore clinic, we use a multidisciplinary approach to treating pain; injuries, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issue.
