You may have heard of people turning to acupuncture to quit smoking, or to assist in their weight loss journey, but it does much more than those two things. Acupuncture can be used to treat headaches, bursitis, low back pain, asthma, Fibromyalgia, and myofascial pain to name a few more. Acupuncture is based on a theory that energy, called chi (say “chee”), flows through and around your body along pathways called meridians. To begin the acupuncture process here at Health 1st of the Triad, our doctors will give you an exam and ask questions about your pain and range of mobility.
Acupuncturists believe that illness occurs when something blocks or unbalances your chi. The technique itself is done by placing very thin needles into your skin at certain points on your body. This is done to influence the energy flow. Not everyone is a good candidate for acupuncture, which is why it is important to schedule a consultation first.
If you think you may benefit from acupuncture, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at the office, visit www.hstriad.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Health 1st of the Triad in Greensboro, NC, call 336-543-2231.
