Learn about Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific acupoints along the skin of the body involving various methods such as penetration by thin needles or the application of heat, pressure, or laser light.

Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion, and cupping therapy. It is a form of complementary and alternative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). According to TCM, stimulating specific acupuncture points corrects imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians.

The number of treatments you may need depends upon the duration, severity, and nature of your ailment. You may need only a single treatment for an acute condition or a series of five to fifteen treatments may resolve a chronic problem.  Some degenerative conditions may require many treatments over time, as well as Chinese herbs and lifestyle and dietary changes.
