What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapeutic practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points are selected to help stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and support balance in how energy, or qi, flows.
Many people seek acupuncture for concerns such as chronic pain, stress, headaches, sleep difficulties, and digestive issues. Each session is tailored to the individual, making acupuncture a personalized and holistic option for supporting overall wellness.
