Acupuncture involves the use of fine, single-use needles that are inserted into the body at very specific points. This process is believed to adjust and alter the body into healthier patterns and functioning. It is used to treat a wide variety of illnesses and health conditions.
Most people describe Acupuncture as a tingling sensation followed by a feeling of relaxation.
Because Acupuncture works on the whole body, change can be generated emotionally as well as physically. Traditional Acupuncture is often used in combination with other traditional practices, including moxibustion (a medicinal warming herb), tuina (medical massage), cupping (including mobile) and Chinese herbal medicine.
