Acupuncture involves inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points. These points are linked to pathways, or meridians, through which energy (Qi) flows. The therapy aims to unblock and balance this energy, promoting overall wellness and pain relief.

The benefits of acupuncture include:

• Pain relief from chronic conditions like arthritis, migraines, or back pain
• Improved digestion and energy levels
• Enhanced mental clarity and reduced stress
• Regulation of hormonal and immune system functions
• Support for the body’s natural healing processes

Acupuncture is suitable for a wide range of individuals, especially those dealing with chronic pain, stress, or other health conditions. Pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those on blood thinners should consult their doctor before undergoing acupuncture.

When performed by a certified practitioner, acupuncture is considered safe. The needles are sterile, disposable, and very thin, which minimizes discomfort. Side effects are rare, but some people may experience slight bruising or soreness after treatment.

During an acupuncture session, the practitioner will insert very thin needles into specific acupuncture points on your body. The process is generally painless, and the needles remain in place for 10-30 minutes. After the session, many people report feeling deeply relaxed and energized.
