Acupuncture, for more than Pain

  Acupuncture is based on the theory of energy called chi or qi, flowing through your body, an ancient chinese therapy used for centuries. Licensed Acupuncturists, like Janine, at Unity Family Wellness Center in Winter Garden, Florida, believe Chi is thought to flow along energy pathways called meridians. 
  People use acupuncture to relieve pain and treat certain health conditions. You can use it by itself, or as part of a treatment program. Studies have found good results for the use of acupuncture in treating; nausea and vomiting related to pregnancy, chemotherapy and post surgery pain. Additionally acupuncture may be used for: stroke rehabilitation, headaches, migraines, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, Osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and others you can read about at www.FloridaSpaGirls.net
  Recently I have been receiving acupuncture treatments for about a month.  I am amazed at the reduction of back pain and tension I have been living with for months now due to an auto accident, from the acupuncture and another modality called cupping. Janine uses these suction cups on my back where she applies some tension from the cups and strategically reapplies them over various points on my backside. You may notice some red circles on your back for a little while, however these cups have instantly shown to me how they have helped reduce the tension in numerous muscles from my neck to my thighs. After this I can more readily accept the acupuncture treatment. From these treatments my back has felt some relief of pain both constant and sharp. 
  Most people resort to acupuncture as a last resort when they should be looking at it before taking over-the-counter and prescription drugs which cause more harm to the body which has been known to heal itself. Visit us here: www.FloridaSpaGirls.net
