Balance AcuMed Clinic Acupuncture in Lake San Marcos, California

  What is Acupuncture?

Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms        disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical  theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang.  This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian  pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow.    Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi. By inserting and manipulating hair-thin  needles  at specific points, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote  the body's ability to heal itself.

Acupuncture returns the body to its
natural state of balance and harmony.

  How Does Acupuncture Work?

  According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), health is achieved by maintaining the      balance of Yin and Yang and the smooth flow of Qi through the meridians. When these  pathways are blocked or out of balance, pain and illness arise. Acupuncture restores  balance  by removing blockages and enhancing the flow of Qi.

Modern science offers another perspective. Research suggests that acupuncture stimulates  the nervous system, releasing chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These  chemicals either alter the experience of pain or trigger the release of other chemicals and  hormones which influence the body's self-regulating systems.
