Acupuncture is a safe and effective technique utilized for pain control and restoration of movement in the case of damage that may have resulted from musculoskeletal or nervous tissue injuries. The certified therapist uses stainless steel disposable needles that are placed into specific acupuncture points as defined by the Chinese many years ago.
The stimulation of those points by either a needle, laser, or electrical current promotes the release of endorphins. Endorphins are pain modifiers that reduce the amount of pain perceived. There are very few known side effects and it is virtually painless.
