Acupuncture Therapy

---

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting very fine, sterile  needles at carefully selected points on the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, these points are associated with pathways known as meridians, through which Qi is believed to flow. Modern research suggests acupuncture may influence certain nervous system responses, although its mechanisms and effectiveness vary by condition.

Acupuncture is commonly used as a complementary approach for:

• Certain types of chronic pain
• Neck, shoulder, and lower back discomfort
• Tension headaches and some migraines
• Relaxation and stress management
• General wellness and self-care

Research provides stronger support for some pain-related conditions than for many other proposed uses.

Acupuncture may be suitable for individuals seeking a non-drug, complementary approach to managing certain types of discomfort or incorporating traditional Chinese wellness practices into their routine. Your practitioner will review your concerns and determine whether acupuncture is appropriate for you.

• Your visit begins with a brief assessment of your health concerns.
• You will then rest comfortably while fine needles are placed at selected acupuncture points. You may experience a mild tingling, heaviness, or dull sensation.
• The needles remain in place for a period determined by your practitioner before being gently removed.
