It is believed that the technique changes the flow of energy by inserting the needles through the energy flow pathway. Your energy flow is then re-balanced after the insertion of the needles.

Injuries of the spine are becoming more and more common due to an aging population, accidents, years of bad posture, and over exertion. Surgery allows physicians to move, fix, and decompress vertebrae if necessary. It is also possible to completely remove vertebrae and replace them all together if damage is extensive. The most common surgeries are:

• Disc implants -an alternative to a fusion, where they implant a new disc. This treatment is not available to everyone.
• Fusion –joining two or more bones of the spine. This relives pain by giving the column more stability for a fracture or to eliminate discomfort that may be caused to certain movements.
• Laminectomy –The bone which covers the vertebrae is removed to relive pressure from underlying structures
• Discectomy –removal of a herniated disc to relieve irritation of anafflicted nerve
