Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that comes from Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and aims to restore harmony to the body's systems with the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points that promote healing. It is used to help a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, stress, anxiety, sleep issues, digestive issues, gynecological and hormonal imbalances.

Modern research supports acupuncture’s effectiveness in stimulating the nervous system, improving circulation, freeing myofascial tensions, and releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals such as endorphins. Practiced by licensed professionals, acupuncture offers a safe, minimally invasive, and drug-free approach to health and wellness.
