What Is Acupuncture??

	Hello Legacy Family! Have you heard of acupuncture but aren't sure exactly what is involved? You're not alone. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about acupuncture and we'd like to clear a few things up.  Acupuncture is painful - This seems to be based on a fear of needles. While that fear is real, the pain is not. The needles used are about the width of a strand of hair. Acupuncture doesn't work - Acupuncture was helping people long before western medicine. It does not involve harmful chemicals and has been proven to provide relief to many symptoms.  Acupuncture is expensive - Acupuncture is becoming recognized by more and more healthcare professionals and insurance companies are starting to see the benefits of including it in their plans.  Acupuncture is addictive - Although some patients will need a few sessions to gain the maximum benefits of acupuncture, it is not addictive. Quite oppositely, acupuncture can often help curb other addictions like smoking or alcohol. If you feel like you might benefit from acupuncture, please contact us today for more information or to schedule an appointment with the doctor. We are happy to be a part of your healthcare team and we look forward to your next visit. Legacy Clinic Website Phone: 352-259-0024   Email: info@legacyclinic.org
