Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic method wherein exceptionally fine needles are precisely placed at specific points on the body to promote healing. Originating in China thousands of years ago and practiced across various Asian cultures, acupuncture is founded on the principles of Eastern medicine. These principles hold that health and healing are achieved by maintaining a harmonious flow of Qi (energy) and blood circulation, which acupuncture helps to balance by addressing blockages within the body.
