What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve functioning. This is done by inserting fine, sterile, disposable needles into very precise acupuncture points. Mr. Froehlich’s expertise in acupuncture is well-known in Dayton, OH, and the surrounding areas.

A modern scientific explanation is that needling acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system, stimulates the release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones that influence the body’s own internal regulating system. Acupuncture also directly effects the tension in muscles, fascia and connective tissue providing a decrease in tension and an increase in circulation.

The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
