Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. It is commonly used for pain management, stress reduction, muscle tension, headaches, and overall wellbeing.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Modern research suggests acupuncture may help regulate the nervous system, stimulate the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, and improve circulation.

What to Expect During Treatment?

Your practitioner will assess your condition and insert fine needles at specific locations. Most patients feel minimal discomfort and experience a sense of relaxation during treatment.
