What is Contemporary Acupuncture?

Contemporary medical acupuncture is an effective treatment used by chiropractors as a precise nerve stimulation technique in which fine solid needles are inserted into neuro-reactive anatomical sites and stimulated manually or with electricity to modulate pain and other dysfunctions.

Research studies indicate that acupuncture is most successful when used as supplementary care to other forms of therapies. Acupuncture helps stimulate the nervous system to set the body’s natural healing mechanisms into action. Contemporary acupuncture utilizes an evidence-based approach to treat pain, altered movement patterns, and improved sports performance.
