The body is one complex unit comprising several systems all working in concert with each other. These body systems (skeletal, muscular, nervous, excretory, digestive, circulatory, etc.) also interconnect with one another and a problem with one system can affect all the other systems in varying degrees. The circulatory system plays a very important part in nourishing and providing oxygen to all body systems and sundry. It also helps detoxify the body and removes amassed waste substances out of the body. Any problem with this body system will have harmful consequences on the others.
Cleveland Acupuncture fortunately has a way to address problems of the circulatory system.

Problems in the transport of chi make sickness and disorders in the body inevitable. These problems can be because of poor diet, emotional disturbances and physical injuries. Acupuncture works by inserting filiform needles into the meridians to restore the normal flow of chi to chi-deficient regions of the body. Any energy blockages then are removed and energy flow is restored enabling the body to begin self-healing processes.
