Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment is a traditional Chinese medicine based on circulating the body’s energy, or qi, with the idea that a blockage or disturbance in the energy flow can cause health issues.

Acupuncturists insert thin needles into specific points throughout the body to rebalance the body’s energy, stimulate healing, manage pain symptoms and conditions, and promote relaxation. Researchers are unsure how the treatment works; however, theories suggest it can help release endorphins and influence the autonomic nervous system.

Learn how acupuncture treatment can rebalance the body’s qi, stimulate endorphins, and influence your autonomic nervous system. Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a variety of conditions.
