Acupuncture
Acupuncture, originating from China, is a time-honored practice employed to alleviate various health issues and discomforts, most notably pain. An acupuncturist inserts very thin steel needles into your skin at multiple “acupoints.” The needles rebalance your body’s energy, or qi, and prompt your body to release natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom. Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain.
Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management. Studies have also shown that acupuncture may be a successful treatment option for a variety of conditions, including immune system issues, infertility and the effects of menopause.
