Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a system of complementary medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles to alleviate pain and treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is now widely practiced in the West. Remember, the needles used for acupuncture are much thinner than the needles typically used for shots. Most patients report a soothing, tingling sensation during treatment and, following treatment, increased energy and decreased pain. Acupuncture uses very fine, hair-thin, sterile needles to activate specific points of the body, which promotes your body’s innate ability to heal itself.
