Supporting your health with clinical acupuncture

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.

 

Potential Benefits

- Reduced pain or muscle tension

- Improved mobility

- Better sleep

- Reduced stress and anxiety

- Enhanced overall wellbeing

Results vary between individuals and improvement may require several sessions.

 

Possible Side Effects

Acupuncture is generally safe. Mild and temporary side effects may include bruising, slight bleeding, fatigue, temporary dizziness, or mild discomfort at the needle site. Serious complications are rare.
