Arizona Chinese Acupuncture Center

Acupuncture is the technique in which very thin needles of varying lengths are inserted through the skin to treat a variety of conditions by stimulating anatomical locations on the body. The procedure is painless but sometimes accompanied by numbness which disappears after the removal of the needle.

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. These points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years. Recently, electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations. Western medical researchers that have studied acupuncture believe acupuncture reduces pain through the body chemicals opioid peptides that provide a calming effects, or by affecting glands such as the hypothalamus that produce substances hormones which regulate the body.

Last year I was referred to Arizona Chinese Acupuncture Centre, by a friend. I had been suffering from debilitating migraines. I had been to acupuncture before and I did not experience a noticeable difference. I never acted on this recommendation until after yet another migraine. I get migraines from scented products, even standing in line at a grocery store with something as simple as a lady or man next, wearing cologne or perfume, will put me to bed with an excrutiating migraine.The first time I visited Arizona Acupuncture Centre and was treated by Ping Yang, I knew there was more of a possibility of being helped that all the Doctor's I had been to in the last 15 years.
