What's Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting very thin needles through a person's skin at specific points on the body with the aim of balancing their energy. Acupuncture can help boost wellbeing and may cure some illnesses. The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system.

Our Treatments

At JP Acupuncture & Wellness, we offer a variety of treatments to help improve your health and wellness. These treatments include Acupuncture, Oriental Herbal Treatment, Cupping, Electroacupuncture, Moxibustion, and Tuina. Our principal healing modalities are all designed to promote health and wellness balance in the body, while reducing symptoms.

*Acupuncture*: We use thin sterile needles to shift the energy in your body. By releasing stuck or slow-moving qi, we can restore your energy. By calming fast-moving energy, we can promote harmony and relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression.

*Oriental Herbal Treatment*: We offer personalized herbal treatment plans to help improve your health and wellness. Our herbal treatments are designed to work in conjunction with acupuncture to provide a comprehensive treatment plan.

*Cupping*: We use cupping to help improve circulation, reduce pain, and promote relaxation. Cupping involves creating a vacuum on the skin to increase blood flow and promote healing.

*Electroacupuncture*: We use electroacupuncture to help stimulate the acupuncture points and provide a more intense treatment. Electroacupuncture involves attaching electrodes to the needles and sending a mild electrical current through the needles.

*Moxibustion*: We use moxibustion to help warm the body and promote healing. Moxibustion involves burning a herb called mugwort near the acupuncture points to warm the area and promote healing.

*Tuina*: We use tuina to help improve circulation, reduce pain, and promote relaxation. Tuina is a form of Chinese massage that involves using techniques such as squeezing, pushing, and kneading to help improve the flow of qi in the body.
