Welcome to Prescott Acupuncture where we offer private individualized treatments as well as community style acupuncture.
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. Originating in China over 2,500 years ago comprising one part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The insertion of sterile, hair thin, disposal needles in the acupoints along the body’s channels of energy can restore and maintain health and bring about homeostasis in the body. Homeostasis means “to stay the same” and is the constant shift of movement our bodies are in to maintain balance and health.
Acupuncture is useful in treating conditions such as:
- Migraine Headaches
- Allergies / Hay Fever
- Back Pain
- Joint Pain
- Fatigue
- Sciatica
- Tendonitis
- Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia
- Facial Rejuvenation
- Weight Management
- Stop Smoking
- Addictions
- Other Conditions
When we become out of balance we experience pain and dis-ease. Acupuncture can help restore the natural balance and smooth flow of Qi (chee) through the channels and set the stage for the body to repair itself and maintain its own health. Qi is living energy that flows throughout the body according to TCM.
Modern science shows that acupuncture stimulates the Central Nervous System to release bio-chemicals into the body and can produce the following physiological effects:
- Increases levels of endorphins (the body’s natural pain killers-stronger than the leading pain killer on the market-Morphine) for treating back pain, joint pain, and other types of chronic pain.
- Increases white blood cell count (great for treating chronic infections and patients with a weakened immune system, such as cancer patients, HIV patients, sinusitis, etc.)
- Boosts seratonin levels (great for treating depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic pain, insomonia, etc.)
- Increases circulation (oxygen, RBC, WBC, and co-enzymes all travel within the blood and by increasing circulation these agents help repair and regenerate damaged areas of the body such as tissues, muscles, ligaments and joints)
