Acupuncture
Originated in China, acupuncture is among the oldest healing systems in the world. Its main goal is to restore your body's balance and improve your overall health. Many people see acupuncture as an "alternative medicine," something to try when nothing else has worked. At BFC, we see acupuncture in a different light. We believe that, combined with other types of treatment, acupuncture can complement and magnify your results when combined with chiropractic care, massage, physical therapy, and nutrition.
Acupuncture treatments involve the insertion of hair-thin needles just below the skin, placed in very specific points to generate energies and connections throughout the body. The energies produced activate responses in your body’s immune, circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems, and help the body to heal internally.
There is minimal risk of injury and virtually no side effects when administered properly. The needles are sterile, regulated by the FDA, and used only once. Dr. Emberland is licensed and certified by the MN board of chiropractic examiners and has safely and effectively treated countless patients with acupuncture for over a decade.
For most patients, acupuncture is a painless, comforting and a restorative form of therapy. Acupuncture should never be painful, but the patient will have some sensation that is indicative of a therapeutic response.
The conditions treated with acupuncture are vast and varied. Some of the more common conditions treated at BFC are: Neck and back pain, headaches and migraines, sinus problems, sciatica, infertility, and even to assist with the stimulation of labor.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about acupuncture or any of our other treatment modalities. We are here to help!
