Acupuncture is perhaps best known for its ability to treat specific acute and chronic conditions. But did you know it can also help prevent illness and maintain health?

A core tenant of Chinese medicine is to treat illness before it begins, and health is more than the absence of disease. Acupuncture, among other complementary tools can play an important role in preventing disease before it starts by balancing your body, mind and emotions so that they are working in harmony together to support your overall well-being.

Specifically, acupuncture can promote self-healing, increase blood circulation, boost the immune system, regulate hormones and have positive effects on digestion and sleep—all important components of your body’s ability to function optimally and to keep you feeling your best.

New science supports acupuncture as one way to promote your body’s robust regulation, enhancing the body’s ability to self-medicate itself by activating complex regulatory systems while maintaining systems to prevent disease. A recent study confirmed its ability to prevent or reduce the risk of certain conditions or diseases.
