Cloud, MN We have a team of doctors at Minser Chiropractic that are certified in acupuncture. Acupuncture is based on the theory that there is an energy that flows through the body along meridians or channels. The energy is called Qi and flows along 12 main channels throughout the body.
These channels form a network connecting the superficial and interior portions of the human body, regulating the function of the whole body. It is believed that when the energy is not flowing correctly along these meridians or channels disease develops. In acupuncture, it is believed that the mind, body, and environment are all intimately connected and an imbalance in any one of these areas can also upset the balance of Qi in the body.
Acupuncture uses small, disposable needles, inserted at specific points along these channels to help restore proper energy flow to the body. Common conditions that respond well to acupuncture include:.
The mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury at a specific depth. In addition, new capillaries are formed for improved blood supply. With Microneedling, the top layer of the skin is parted without being damaged, leaving the skin intact. The needle penetration depth can be adjusted from 0. Microneedling results in the production of new collagen and elastin, improvement in skin tone and texture, firmness as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Nanoneedling uses microscopic, hair-like needles to penetrate the top layer of skin, called the epidermis, by separating cells and allowing active ingredients to be delivered.
