read moreAfter six acupuncture treatments, I have energy, can organize my activities, and best of all, sleep through the entire night waking up rested to do the things I love to do - garden, visit with friends, read, walking the dog and of course those things I must do - cook, clean and care for my family. Thank you, Abbie, for treating me, listening and caring. I am on my feet again and running! At times it was so debilitating that I could not do my normal every day chores. Since working with the acupuncture, I have been able to go for weeks without pain.

Part of the answer is explained by a better understanding of the Autonomic Nervous System. The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of two divisions, (the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic divisions). These systems are made up of motor neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to the cardiac muscle (heart), to smooth muscles (found in the walls of the hollow organs of the body i.e. intestines, arteries, lungs, etc.) and to glandular epithelial tissue (cells which release secretions).
