About Acupuncture: Modern science and The World Health Organization increasingly recognizes that the human body functions as a complex bioelectrical system. Energy circulates throughout the body along well-defined pathways, commonly referred to as meridians. Specific points on the skin along these pathways are energetically connected to particular organs, tissues, and physiological systems. When the flow of energy becomes disrupted, optimal function is compromised, potentially resulting in pain, dysfunction, or illness. Acupuncture works by gently stimulating these points to restore balance and improve the circulation of the energy throughout the body. By influencing the body’s bioenergetic systems and clearing blockages within these energetic pathways, acupuncture supports the body’s natural ability to heal, regulate itself, and return to a state of balance and well-being. For those in the Catskill Mountains, Greene, Ulster and surrounding counties, seeking holistic wellness, Abigail Podrecca also incorporates nutritional/herbal couseling and Chi Gong techniques in her practice.
