What Is Acupuncture?
The practice of acupuncture has been around for over 2000 years and has proven to be a safe and effective treatment, especially for pain management and chronic illness. Acupuncture works at a deeper level by stimulating the nervous system, helping to regulate and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.
It involves the use of very thin needles, inserted into specific points along the body’s meridians, which can influence the body’s internal regulating system, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.
Our practitioners have found acupuncture to be a valuable tool in their treatment approach, consistently delivering great results for pain management. It is a technique that is both traditional and evidence-based, making it an excellent addition to your holistic health plan.
If you’re new to acupuncture, we understand that you may feel hesitant about beginning. Rest assured that acupuncture needles are much thinner than injection needles and are virtually painless. While acupuncture is considered safe for most people, we always discuss what to expect, including both the benefits and potential (though very rare) risks, ensuring you feel confident and informed.
For those who may not feel comfortable with acupuncture, we can explore alternative treatment options.

What should I expect during a session?
During an acupuncture session, you will discuss your health history, symptoms, and treatment goals with your practitioner. You will then lie comfortably on a treatment table while the acupuncture practitioner inserts thin needles into specific points on your body. The needles may be gently manipulated or stimulated to enhance the therapeutic effect. Most people find acupuncture to be a relaxing and painless experience.
