Acupuncture is a holistic healing practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to promote balance, relieve pain, and support overall wellness. It is a key part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of conditions.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along energy pathways called meridians. This helps regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood, reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and supporting the body's natural healing processes. Modern research suggests that acupuncture influences the nervous system, releases endorphins, and promotes circulation.

Acupuncture is commonly used to address:
Pain relief (back pain, neck pain, headaches, arthritis, etc.)
Stress, anxiety, and depression
Insomnia and sleep disorders
Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, nausea, etc.)
Hormonal balance and fertility support
Allergies and immune support
Sports injuries and recovery
General wellness and preventative care

Most people feel little to no pain during acupuncture. The needles are very thin, about the width of a human hair. Some people may feel a mild tingling, warmth, or slight pressure at the insertion points, but overall, the experience is relaxing and comfortable.
