Acupuncture
Overview
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that promotes balance, healing, and overall well-being. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture helps regulate the flow of energy (Qi), stimulate the nervous system, and encourage the body’s natural healing response.
Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, stress, or chronic health conditions, acupuncture offers a gentle and holistic approach to restoring harmony between the body and mind.
