Acupuncture

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. It is used to balance the body’s energy flow, known as Qi (chi), and encourage natural healing processes.

How It Works

According to TCM, Qi flows through pathways called meridians. When the flow is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to illness or discomfort. Acupuncture helps:

  • Restore the proper flow of energy
  • Stimulate the nervous system
  • Improve circulation and reduce inflammation
  • Release endorphins for natural pain relief

Conditions Treated

Acupuncture is widely used to support the treatment of:

  • Chronic pain (e.g. back, neck, joint pain)
  • Migraines and headaches
  • Anxiety, stress, and insomnia
  • Digestive disorders
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Allergies and sinus issues

A Safe & Personalized Experience

Each acupuncture session is tailored to the individual's health needs and comfort level. The procedure is gentle, safe, and minimally invasive, often resulting in a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
