My work (structural integration) & Acupuncture work together so well – I know this from personal experience having gone through my SI training while receiving weekly acupuncture treatments.
Here is a picture that shows where and why acupuncture works so well:
Acupuncture helps create more openness and fluidity in the body in similar areas that I access; essentially helping to create real, lasting, and readily experienced change to your body by leveraging the 3 dimensional scaffolding that supports your body’s everything! You gotta check this out.
But the latest research shows (see above article) that you can access your body’s natural healing capacity, by helping to establish and maintain healthy metabolism. This reduces inflammation and allows for the body to return to a balance point at health more readily.
Not many people are doing this, let alone thinking about it. The acupuncturists are well trained in the meridians and the biochemistry, and integrating that information into a more musculo-skeletal, postural, and functional framework – well – amazing things are still happening on my table.
I’m a huge fan of acupuncture. I’ve used it for 35 years and continue to recommend it to my clients.
