Acupuncture

Alternative medicine to treat overall wellness

Acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine involving the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points on the body. Acupuncture is most commonly used to alleviate pain or treat various health conditions. Acupuncture is increasingly being used to help patients with overall health and wellness, including stress management.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points that are connected by pathways. The needles are activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner’s hands. This technique balances the energy or life force believed to flow through pathways or meridians in the body. By inserting needles into specific points, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance, thus resulting in improved overall health.
