Acupuncture involves the insertion of single-use, sterilized needles into acupuncture points throughout the body, which are areas of the skin that have less resistance to electricity. Most acupuncture points are found along meridians or channels that are considered to be the pathway for the flow of energy or Qi (pronounced “chee”).

Acupuncture is Used to

  1. Reduce pain
  2. Decrease inflammation
  3. Enhance healing
  4. Improve sleep and relaxation
  5. Improve mood and energy levels and restore function in the affected areas.
