Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient system of traditional eastern healing that manipulates the body’s energy flow, allowing the body to balance and heal itself.

Through inserting very fine needles, applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points, the acupuncturist seeks to rebalance the flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”) – commonly known as your life energy. The treatments lead the body to re-establish balance in organ function with positive effects on digestion, absorption, circulation, immunity and energy.

Needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture is offered at the Brunner Sanden Deitrick Wellness Center in Mentor.
