Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for over 2,000 years. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy or Qi. This stimulation is said to promote healing, relieve pain, and improve overall well-being.

During an acupuncture session, a licensed acupuncturist will first take a detailed medical history and assess the patient’s overall health. The acupuncturist will then insert the needles into specific points on the body, which may feel like a slight prick or pressure. The needles are left in place for about 20-30 minutes, during which time the patient can relax and rest. Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, digestive disorders, anxiety, and fertility issues. It is a safe and effective form of holistic medicine that is growing in popularity in the Western world.
