The ancient practice of acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing response. It involves penetrating the skin with thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body. It draws on medical traditions from China, Japan, and Korea that go back 2,000 years. Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free way to promote the body’s remarkable self-healing abilities. It treats a wide range of ailments, including aches and pains, women’s health problems (infertility, PMS, menopause), stress and mental health issues, digestive concerns, fatigue and insomnia.

The results from acupuncture are often immediate and can be long-lasting. However, it is suggested that patients return for booster treatment two to three times per year for maintenance and preventative care. Some skeptics believe that the positive effects of Alexandria Acupuncture are simply due to a placebo effect. But, a growing number of studies in hospitals and medical research centers around the world have proven that acupuncture is indeed effective.

The needles stimulate the acupressure points, which will increase blood flow and circulation throughout the body. This will help to relax the muscles, relieve tension and reduce inflammation. Acupuncture also encourages the body’s innate ability to heal itself, resulting in lasting relief from many conditions.
