It used to be that the public thought acupuncture was nothing but a pseudo-science, a placebo. Well, millions of patients and hundreds of research studies into present day have since proven that idea wrong and demystified the mechanism of how acupuncture works.

 

Our customized treatment plans address two things: pain and nerve dysfunction.

 

Acupuncture points are activity centers -- when stimulated correctly they systematically flood the body not only with nourishment from increased blood circulation but also with powerful pain-relieving endorphins (aka HAPPY HORMONES) such as enkephalin's, beta-endorphins, dynorphins, and ACTH. At the same time, acupuncture begins a chain of reactions driving the vagal-adrenal axis to release catecholamines (norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine) to curb and reduce inflammation for lasting effects. Many medications seek to mimic the effects of these neurotransmitters, but not without some nasty side effects.

 

As the body habituates strong painkiller use, in time it not only damages the pain receptors and builds up a tolerance so strong the only options left are prescribing stronger dosages or an even stronger prescription. What's more, the body basically forgets how to and becomes unable to release and form these neurotransmitters on its own. Acupuncture works by letting the body inform the brain, strengthening the connection between the two, and allowing it to do what it was meant to do for thousands of years.... heal.

 

If you don't remember anything else from freshman year biology, you probably remember that "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"! Well, what seemed like pretty useless information at the time actually ties in so much about what we know about health today. Yes, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell as it's responsible for the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) -- a critical supplier of energy. ATP IS ENERGY, it is a type of Qi, it's used by muscles to move, it's the fuel that drives all the physiological processes of the body. When our cells are damaged or our mitochondria is otherwise unable to produce ATP, we cannot have proper cell function, our bodies cannot metabolize food, absorb important nutrients, or dispose itself of toxins.

 

If the engine isn't working properly, no amount or quality of fuel (vitamins, supplements, medications) will get you as far as you can potentially go.

 

Our customized acupuncture protocols along with ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ increases ATP production at 500x the normal rate, expedites protein synthesis, drives oxygenation and increases healthy blood flow. Altogether we are able to rehabilitate damaged nerves, neutralize systemic inflammation, and feel like your whole self again!
