More Information about COmmunity Acupuncture Below!
Community Acupuncture is on hold for now, but you can schedule for one-on-one Acupuncture!
There are currently no appointments available for our group Acupuncture sessions, however our licensed Acupuncturist, Kevin A. Caputo, LAc is accepting new patients for Individual Acupuncture! He’s trained to address a variety of concerns but the most common issues he treats (with great effectiveness) are pain, digestive issues, sleeping issues, dizziness, and some psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress.
How Does Community Acupuncture Work?
To understand Acupuncture, we need to discuss two main systems in our brain and how they function; the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS). These two systems together make up the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which regulates all kinds of unconscious body functions, like breathing, heartbeat, bloodflow and digestion. The ANS operates by receiving information from the environment and from other parts of the body. The SNS and PNS have opposing reactions to this information. The SNS “excites” the body, or engages the “Fight-or-Flight” response. The PNS does the opposite; it calms the body and reduces blood pressure and heart rate.
Community Acupuncture at Vivify is quick, clothed and affordable. This is a great option if you are new to acupuncture and want to try it.
