Acupuncture for Immune Function
Qi is the life force that drives every activity in organic life forms, according to TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine). By improving your Qi you can improve the function of your immune system.
About Immune Function
Overview
It’s present in everything from physical objects such as your phone to immaterial aspects of the world like light, heat, and emotion. Qi is the life force that drives every activity in organic life forms when Qi is insufficient, the Yin&Yang harmony is gone, it will develop disorders in each body system. As a result, there will be less ability of the defense to an invasion of exogenous pathogenic factors.
Causes
Weakened immune function can be attributed to various factors, including stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, sedentary lifestyle, underlying health conditions, and environmental toxins. Understanding the underlying causes of immune dysfunction is crucial for strengthening the body's defenses and promoting overall health.
Risk factors
While acupuncture is generally safe, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with bleeding disorders, those taking blood-thinning medications, or those with pacemakers. It's essential to discuss any pre-existing medical conditions with your acupuncturist before starting treatment.

What our patients say on Google
I had acupuncture and cupping with Emma, and she truly worked wonders on my back and neck. I came in barely able to turn my head, and now I feel so much better relaxed, pain-free, and mobile again. I’d had a bad experience elsewhere before, but Emma completely turned things around. Highly recommend!
I am very satisfied with the herbal remedies for perimenopause. I don't have hot flashes after the medication. And electric acupuncture soothes my plantar fascists on both feet. The capsules for bowel movement are working very well.
The staff specially Yao meng did an excellent job. In addition she is very kind and explain to the patients what to expect. Thank you very much.
I highly recommend Acupro. They are very professional and take the time to tailor your treatment for you.
