What is Acupuncture?
As a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is used to gently stimulate the body’s natural healing ability. While acupuncture is often thought of for injuries, pain, and tension, it can address all types of health imbalances. By inserting extremely thin needles through the skin at strategic points on your body, acupuncture is used to stimulate healing and help your body return to harmony.
