Acupuncture for

Fertility

Acupuncture has been proven to increase in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates by 35%. It is advised to start the acupuncture treatments before any IVF treatments. When endorphins are released during acupuncture sessions, ovarian functions are regulated. Also, acupuncture irrigates tissue through perfusion which increases circulation to the uterus and therefore creates a better environment for implantation and conception.

Acupuncture for

Addiction

Acudetox protocol started as anesthesia for cingulatomy in China, then later was used to treat acute symptoms of withdrawal. Long term treatment has been shown to avoid relapse, especially for those who have been through treatment multiple times.
During an acupuncture procedure for addiction, an introduction of filament causes microinjury which triggers release of endorphin. Endorphins sedate the patient and quell acute withdrawal symptoms. Sedation puts the patient in parasympathic or rest mode and thus learns the behavior of the craving mechanism.

Acupuncture for

Pain Management

By inserting filaments into specific acupuncture points, we elicit the following effects: improve circulation to the affected area, block pain signals, alter the perception of pain, reduce inflammation and, finally, release endorphins to take the edge off and get the body to relax.
In addition to acupuncture, Acupuncture Health Services can relieve your pain through other options. Contact us to find out more.

How Acupuncture Works

Studies have shown that with the insertion of acupuncture needles the body responds in certain ways. Once the needle penetrates the skin the body responds by treating the needle as a foreign invader. This triggers the body’s injury response. Since the needles are so fine and sterile, and the skin is swabbed with alcohol there is no injury or risk of infection. The injury response will divert the blood flow to the needle and increase circulation to the affected area. Blood flow brings oxygen, nutrients, and the immune system and treats the problem locally.

In order to perceive pain, an electric nerve signal travels from the affected area to the brain. Studies have shown; through the use of MRIs, that the limbic system is stimulated. This leads researchers to believe that acupuncture alters the perception of pain. Many times after an injury one may shake their hand. Movement overrides the pain signal. Acupuncture yields the same effect but longer results.

When the injury response is triggered the body will try so sedate the patient by releasing endorphins. Endorphins provide the quintessential relaxation and sense of well-being that acupuncture in known for. Most disease is exacerbated by stress. This relaxation allows the sympathetic aspect of the nervous system to get out of hyper mode and slip into the restorative aspect of the parasympathetic rest mode.

Acupuncture does not hurt

As one can see the needles we use are very small.

Above is a typical 20 gauge syringe needle. Nine acupuncture needles fit into the other needle. With acupuncture we do not introduce or with draw any substances. There is no need to cut into any sensitive tissue. The process of insertion is painless as well. The needle rests in the tube slightly higher than the tube.

Then the needle is passed through the skin at a high velocity that it does not register with the dermatomes (nerves that register pain signal) on the skin. When the needle is in it rests painlessly in the affected area.
