Acupuncture
About
Acupuncture is a core component of Traditional Chinese Medicine involving the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body called acupoints. These points lie along meridians through which qi flows. By stimulating these points, practitioners aim to regulate the flow of energy, promote healing, and restore balance in the body.
Modern research suggests acupuncture influences the nervous system, stimulates the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters, and modulates inflammatory responses.
Benefits
Acupuncture is clinically supported for chronic and acute pain conditions including back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and headaches. It reduces stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system, improves sleep quality, supports fertility and menstrual health, alleviates chemotherapy-induced nausea, and promotes overall wellbeing.
