Acupuncture is an ancient science that involves the strategic insertion of fine, painless needles along mapped points and along lines of fascial tension. A functional integrated acupuncture approach represents a hybrid treatment model incorporating traditional TCM meridian points and points along densified, tensional connective tissue platforms that can often express pain, disrupt motion and efficient motor control. Acupuncture is a powerful tool than can serve to improve blood flow to tissue, reduce tissue tension, calm the central nervous system, enhance neural signalling and suppress pain.
