Acupuncture
Acupuncture promotes the body’s natural healing ability. Consider the meridians on the earth, acupuncture works along the same method. The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up in others. The effectiveness of Acupuncture is well documented and researched. The World Health Organization lists the following as just some of the ailments which are successfully treated with Acupuncture.

Dr. Faith Schumann, is a certified Chiropractor Acupuncturist. She frequently uses the acupuncture methods on her patients to enhance healing, especially in the case of acute muscle spasms. She has seen wonderful results from this ancient method of healing. The procedure is very gentle. One should not compare the treatments to getting blood drawn or receiving injections. The acupuncture needles are very thin and are even coated with silicon to make the process as painless as can be. Many patients who were hesitant about acupuncture have seen the great benefit it has done for their bodies, especially when they were in great pain.
