Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture, with Chinese herbal therapy, is a pillar of traditional Chinese medicine, a holistic healthcare system used in China and other East Asian countries for many centuries. acupuncture needles placed on shoulder during an acupuncture treatment by a traditional Chinese medicine doctorAcupuncture is the medical practice of inserting micro-fine, sterilized needles at physically significant points on the body to stimulate and activate metabolic and physiological natural functions to treat disorders, prevent disease and improve well-being.

The patient’s specific diagnosis dictates the selection and combination of acupuncture points for the treatment. Most people find acupuncture treatments relaxing with a sensation of radiating warmth, as the energy flows freely across the body, bringing peace and a sense of balance.
