What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the strategic placement of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to help restore balance, encourage natural healing, and promote overall wellness. This time-tested therapy is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is used today as a holistic approach to treating a variety of health concerns.
During a session, our licensed acupuncturist will tailor the treatment based on your specific symptoms and goals, ensuring a safe and calming experience. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort.
