Contemporary Medical Acupuncture

Contemporary medical acupuncture is a technique that involves inserting fine needles into specific sites on the body in order to modulate abnormal activity of the nervous system. Hyper-activity of the nervous system is commonly present with stress and chronic pain and hypo-activity is commonly seen in cases of muscle weakness or inhibition. Acupuncture helps to normalize this activity by turning it up or down. 

Contemporary medical acupuncture practitioners rely on a thorough history and physical exam in order to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. Selection of acupuncture points is based on the practitioner’s extensive understanding of neuromuscular anatomy. Acupuncture can be used as a treatment on its own or in conjunction with chiropractic care.
