How Does Acupuncture Work?

A part of the conventional Chinese medical system is acupuncture. The history of this medical procedure dates back thousands of years. The main theory behind acupuncture is based on the idea that the body has patterns of energy flow called "Qi" that are thought to be crucial for wellness. The disturbance of this flow, according to the Chinese, is what causes sickness.

We are passionate about your health care and offer a holistic approach that integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine and lifestyle support to help your body use its intrinsic ability to self-heal. Acupuncture is a natural approach to your general well being, as well as a great adjunct therapy to conventional western medicine for a multitude of diseases and discomforts. We treat the body as a whole to provide the most complete health care possible. We want you to achieve your health goals and be able to enjoy your life to its fullest!Prairie Spring Acupuncture Clinic gives back to the community by offering a FREE CLINIC treating Anxiety and PTSD, partnered with Healthy Living Counseling Center.
