ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine involving the insertion of solid filiform acupuncture needles into the skin at specific points on the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. Acupuncture is used to encourage natural healing, improve mood and energy, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. Furthermore, acupuncture helps restore balance within the body by addressing underlying conditions that may impact overall well-being.
