Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture practice comes from traditional Chinese medicine. It is a treatment that uses very thin steel needles inserted into your skin to stimulate specific points. The needles rebalance your body’s energy, or qi, and prompt your body to release natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom, such as pain.
