Southwest Spine Center Texas offers both modern and traditional acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture is an ancient treatment addressing the balance of the body’s energy or “chi”. The premise of acupuncture is simple, if the body is unbalanced, it cannot heal itself properly. The idea, using either traditional needle therapy or a more modern version of the therapy utilizing electrical/microcurrent stimulation of the acupuncture points, is to align the body’s energy allowing the body to heal itself. The human body has amazing healing power: From creating and building a baby to healing a cut. Harnessing that power to heal by stimulating specific points along the acupuncture meridians may be far from our traditional medicine but the results are nothing less then amazing.

Treating pain, headaches, allergies, asthma, infertility, chronic fatigue syndrome, restless leg syndrome, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, digestive disorders, joint pain, visual issues, vertigo, tinnitus and so much more, acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and continues to provide impressive results.

Using the AcuGraph, we even have a computer program that allows you to visualize the energy or chi imbalance and assists us in determining what areas need improvement. Southwest Spine Center recommends a custom treatment plan after a thorough history and examination of a patient’s condition. Alone or combined with chiropractic, massage, spinal decompression or other therapy, acupuncture work.

Many of our patients begin skeptical and come out believers! The results truly speak for themselves. Combined with the latest technology and traditional/proven methods, acupuncture is a very effective treatment. It offers alternatives to drugs, injections or even surgery. It was recently shown that acupuncture helps patients undergoing chemotherapy.
