What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old system of traditional medicine that originates from China. Very thin needles are inserted along the energetic pathways of the body at specific points. Acupuncture encourages the body to heal naturally. The points where the needles go are areas with electrical sensitivity. They've been mapped out over thousands of years and have been proven effective in the treatment of specific health problems. Acupuncturists insert sterile, stainless-steel needles into specific points located near or on the surface of the skin. Through the needles and points, pain can be relieved, illness can be cured and balance can be restored. This can alter biochemical and physiological conditions to treat health problems.


How Does it Work?

Acupuncture increases blood flow, which decreases pain and reduces inflammation by activating the body's own natural painkillers, breaks up muscle knots and promotes circulation in painful areas. It boosts the immune and spinal system function and balances the body's natural producing hormones and enzymes. 


How Deep Does the Needle Go?

Acupuncture points are located near or on the surface of the skin, usually 1/4 to 1 inch deep. For Pediatric patients or those hesitant to needles, Dr. Morgan offers needle-less acupuncture.


Does it Hurt?

Acupuncture needles are significantly thinner than hypodermic needles. They are so thin, in fact, that several acupuncture needles can go into the middle of a hypodermic needle. Many patients tell us they barely feel a thing!


How Long Do Treatments Last?

The needles are usually left in place for twenty to forty minutes. Most people find the experience extremely relaxing and uplifting and even fall asleep for the duration of the treatment. A nap that heals… What could be better than that?


Is it safe?

Yes, acupuncture is extremely safe and sterile. Because it's drug-free, you don't have to worry about taking several doses of a medication or suffering side effects.


How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Acupuncture is a gradual healing process, and healing time varies from patient to patient. You can schedule a consultation with Dr. Morgan to get an idea of how your unique treatment plan will look like.
