What is Acupuncture and How Does it Work?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into specific points on your body at specific points on your body to promote balance and wellness.
While there are many different types of acupuncture, at Foundation Chiropractic in Pittsburgh, we practice traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and work with Qi, the vital energy needed to sustain life. Qi (pronounced “chee”) regulates all of the systems in your body to stimulate your nerves, increase healthy blood flow, and promote the release of endorphins and anti-inflammatory substances.
In TCM, health is seen as a balance of Yin and Yang, and when Qi is disrupted by stress, injury, or a poor diet, symptoms like pain, fatigue, or hormonal imbalance can arise. Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of Qi, helping your body return to its natural state of health.

One of our favorite issues to support is fertility. So many people struggle with trying to get pregnant and we love that acupuncture offers a gentle and natural alternative. It also helps regulate your menstrual cycle, reduce symptoms of PMS, and ease you through the transition of perimenopause and menopause.
