Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of traditional Chinese medicine which has evolved over thousands of years to prevent, diagnose and treat disease. It involves placing hair-thin needles into the skin on certain points of a meridian to stimulate specific points and direct the flow of qi energy throughout your body.
