Acupuncture

Acupuncture may be a good option if you’re experiencing chronic or acute pain, such as headaches, neck or back pain, nerve pain, arthritis, or tendonitis, and are looking for alternatives to medication and surgery.

This treatment involves the use of extremely thin, sterile needles inserted into specific points on the body. These points correspond with areas in your nervous system, and their stimulation can lead to pain relief, general relaxation, and a return to the nervous system’s normal state. Many people find acupuncture to be relaxing and experience minimal discomfort during treatment. It’s a safe and effective treatment that is often used successfully as an alternative to drugs. The thin needles are inserted into acupoints along meridians to stimulate the flow of qi and restore balance within the body.
