Acupuncture

with Dr. Shannon Francis

Acupuncture has been around for about 5,000 years. It is based on the philosophy that the Qi (vital energy) flows through the body. The purpose of the Qi is to protect the body from illness and pain. Life's daily stresses can effect the flow of the Qi, and it will become blocked. Acupuncture is nonivasive and relieves the blockage.

There are many different types of Acupuncture that are used to help with may needs, such as:

• weight loss
• painful menstral cramps
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• stress
• much more

Two of the most common types of acupuncture are as follows:

~Needles:

• very thin, only width of a hair
• solid
• not designed to cut the skin
• painless

~Electro-Acupuncture:

• small electro currents are used
• no needles
• painless

and Saturdays between 9:00am - 11:00am.
