Lisa Temple, L.Ac.

Acupuncture has been used in China over 3000 years.  Pathways of energy or meridians were discovered in the body at this time. The insertion of hair fine needles at specific points along these pathways allows the qi or energy to flow freely increasing vitality, clarity of mind, a feeling of well-being and erasure of pain.  Because acupuncture increases organ vitality it helps the body to heal itself of a variety of imbalances.  Acupuncture releases endorphins and other neurotransmitters into the system which block pain, increase immunity, bring about well-being and stimulate the body to heal itself.

The World Health Organization has proved acupuncture effective for a variety of health disorders including:                                                                                                                                               chronic fatigue, depression, stress, pain release: back, shoulder, sciatic, arthritis, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, gout, headaches, tinnitus, insomnia, asthma, cough, allergies, IBS, nausea, PMS, menopause issues, menstrual cramping, infertility, relieves side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

According to the World Health Organization in 2002, acupuncture's effective rate in the treatment of chronic pain is comparable with that of morphine.
