How Can Acupuncture Help You?

Through the use of hair-thin needles the acupuncturist is able to help the muscular system achieve homeostasis: a regulated healthy state.  Placing the needles in specific locations activates the body's own healing mechanisms.

Chronic stress from everyday work and activity or any acute injury from sports or accidents result in damage to the musculoskeletal system. This alters the body’s ability to move and function naturally, leading to pain, weakness, and predisposition to further injury. Acupuncture can stimulate the stretch reflexes in muscles, release trigger points, increase range of motion and improve blood and lymphatic circulation, thereby creating the optimal environment for tissue recovery.

Is Acupuncture only good for when there's a problem?  
Can I come in if I'm not in pain?

You absolutely can do acupuncture even if there is no apparent issue.  From a day-to-day standpoint, acupuncture is a useful to keep the body and its physiological functions healthy.
