Acupuncture in Phoenix & Anthem, AZ
What is Acupunture?
At MyChiropractor Health & Wellness Centers, we offer safe, effective, and time-tested acupuncture treatments in Phoenix and Anthem, AZ to help restore balance, relieve pain, and support natural healing.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world, originating in China over 5,000 years ago. It is based on the belief that the body has a vital energy, called qi, which flows through pathways called meridians. When the flow of qi is blocked or imbalanced, illness and pain can occur. Acupuncture helps restore balance so your body can heal itself naturally.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
During treatment, our licensed acupuncturist inserts fine, sterile, disposable needles into specific points on the body. These precise points stimulate your body’s own healing systems, improve circulation, and activate the immune system.
In some cases, herbal medicine, cupping, or electro-stimulation may be used to enhance the benefits of acupuncture. Treatments are customized for your needs, whether you’re seeking pain relief, stress reduction, or overall wellness.
The Science Behind Acupuncture
Modern research supports many traditional benefits of acupuncture. Studies show that acupuncture can:
- Stimulate endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers.
- Influence neurotransmitters – improving communication between nerves and the brain.
- Balance the nervous system – calming stress responses and promoting relaxation.
- Improve blood circulation – helping tissues heal faster.
- Enhance electrical signals – supporting natural cell repair and recovery.
