What is Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a medical treatment system rooted in the application of small needles or pressure to specific points on the body. It originates from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is influenced by the philosophical teachings of Confucianism and Taoism. In this practice, health is believed to result from the balanced flow of "qi," or vital energy, which embodies the yin/yang duality present throughout the physical world. This approach explores the physiological mechanisms behind acupuncture's effectiveness and emphasizes the importance of collaboration among healthcare professionals in educating patients about pain management.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment Gun?

A chiropractic adjustment gun (or spinal manipulative device) is an advanced handheld tool used by chiropractors and physical therapists to deliver quick, controlled impulses to joints and muscles. It helps restore proper alignment, relieve pain, and improve mobility—without the manual cracking or twisting often associated with traditional adjustments.

How It Works:
- Uses gentle, rapid pulses (low-force mechanical thrusts) to target misaligned vertebrae or stiff joints.
- Adjustments are precise, comfortable, and tailored to your body’s needs.
- Often paired with soft tissue therapy or acupuncture for holistic care.

Key Benefits You Can Expect:
Pain Relief  – Effective for back/neck pain, sciatica, and joint dysfunction.
Non-Invasive – No forceful twisting; ideal for sensitive or anxious patients.
Improved Mobility– Releases tension in muscles and ligaments.
Faster Adjustments – Delivers consistent, targeted corrections in seconds.

Common Uses:
- Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Posture-related issues (e.g., "tech neck")
- Sports injury recovery

Safety & Comfort:
- Feels like a light "tap" or vibration—no loud pops.
- Safe for most people (avoided in severe osteoporosis or fractures).
- Your practitioner will customize the intensity.

Think of it as a high-tech way to nudge joints back into place—gentle, precise, and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@healingsalts.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes, the scientific evidence supports many of the benefits of acupuncture, though research is ongoing and some aspects remain debated. Below are some key findings from studies that back acupuncture’s effectiveness in certain areas:


1. Pain Relief

Numerous studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective in reducing chronic pain, particularly for conditions such as:

  • Lower back pain: Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that acupuncture provided significant pain relief for people with chronic lower back pain.
  • Osteoarthritis: A 2014 meta-analysis published in Arthritis & Rheumatology found that acupuncture improved pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
  • Migraines and tension headaches: The Cochrane Library review found acupuncture effective for preventing and treating headaches and migraines. It often outperformed standard pain medications in reducing both frequency and severity.

2. Stress, Anxiety, and Mental Health

  • A study published in The Journal of Endocrinology found that acupuncture reduced stress hormone levels, particularly cortisol, showing its ability to help manage the body's stress response.
  • For anxiety, a meta-analysis in Complementary Therapies in Medicine (2018) found that acupuncture was associated with reduced anxiety symptoms, especially for patients undergoing medical treatments like surgery or chemotherapy.

3. Boosting Energy and Immune Function

  • Acupuncture has been shown to influence the nervous system and immune system. A study published in Neuroscience Letters (2015) demonstrated that acupuncture can trigger the release of natural painkillers like endorphins and serotonin, which improve overall vitality.
  • Research in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies found that acupuncture might modulate the immune system, enhancing the activity of natural killer cells and other immune responses.

4. Improved Sleep

  • Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture can improve sleep quality. For example, research published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews found that acupuncture helped improve insomnia by regulating melatonin production, a hormone that influences the sleep-wake cycle.

5. Digestive and Hormonal Health

  • Acupuncture has been found to positively impact digestion by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which aids in digestive functions. A study in the World Journal of Gastroenterology (2013) showed that acupuncture helped patients with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by reducing symptoms like bloating and pain.
  • Acupuncture may also assist with hormonal balance. A study in Fertility and Sterility found that acupuncture improved outcomes in women undergoing IVF (in vitro fertilization) by regulating hormone levels.



  1. Pain Relief: Acupuncture is highly effective in relieving chronic pain, including back pain, migraines, arthritis, and joint discomfort. By stimulating the nervous system, acupuncture releases endorphins and enhances blood circulation, reducing inflammation and providing natural pain relief.
  2. Stress and Anxiety Management: Acupuncture helps regulate the body’s stress response by calming the nervous system. It promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and helps improve sleep quality.
  3. Boosts Energy and Immunity: By balancing the body's energy systems, acupuncture can enhance your overall vitality and strengthen your immune response, helping you fight off illness and recover faster.
  4. Holistic Wellness: Acupuncture treats the whole person, addressing not only physical symptoms but also emotional and mental well-being. It’s a natural, drug-free therapy that can support better digestion, hormonal balance, and improved mood.
  5. Preventative Care: Acupuncture can be used as a preventative measure to maintain balance in the body, keeping your energy levels steady and preventing future health issues.


Acupuncture therapy is an ancient healing practice that originated in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. These points are located along pathways called meridians, which are believed to be channels through which vital energy, or "qi" (pronounced "chee"), flows. When this energy is disrupted or blocked, it can lead to pain, illness, or emotional imbalance. Acupuncture aims to restore the flow of qi, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
