How does acupuncture work in Komoka ON?

Acupuncture works by stimulating peripheral nerves with fine, solid needles (acupuncture needles). They are inserted into anatomically defined neurofunctional sites and stimulated manually or with electricity. The therapeutic purpose is to modulate abnormal activity in the nervous system, endocrine, exocrine, and immune systems. Neuromodulation occurs through neurological and neurohumoral mechanisms at multiple levels, namely: peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, brain, and cerebellum.

Acupuncture has proven to be successful in reducing stress, muscle tension, and chronic pain (including headaches). It is a great complement to chiropractic care for pain relief and stress reduction.
