Acupuncture
Eastern Explanation:
The Eastern Explanation for how Acupunctures works is that the life energy flowing through the body which is termed Qi (pronounced chee) can be influenced and balanced by stimulating specific points on the body. These points are located along channels of energy known as meridians that connect all of our major organs. According to Eastern medical theory, illness arises when the cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians becomes unbalanced or is blocked.
Western Explanation:
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points located near or on the surface of the skin which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to achieve the desired effect.

Spinal disc problem
Spinal disc problems
Spinal disc problems(bulging/Herniation) can occur anywhere along the spine and can be a serious debilitating condition. A common misconception is that most disc problems occur suddenly. On the contrary, most disc problems are a slow ongoing process that eventually reach a breaking point resulting in severe insult to the disc and intense pain. Most common symptom is pain that radiates down the sacral, leg, or down the arm, hands. Associated symptoms include weakness in the extremity, numbness(The common term for this problem is a "pinched nerve.")and muscle spasm. If you think your pain is due to a disc problems it's important to have it examined immediately as the condition can worsen over time.

Bring Your body into Harmony with Itself
Acupuncture
Acupuncture helps the body heal itself. Our bodies are designed with great healing powers, but sometimes bodies need a little help to heal and that’s what acupuncture does. It also helps the body heal faster.
The acupuncturist is a like a detective that is searching for the root cause of illness and then uses special spots called acupuncture points to begin the healing process. Not even the greatest surgeon can heal a cut, only the body can.
