About Acupuncture
-
Acupuncture restores the flow of energy through the body, so that the body can maintain its own health. Treatments involve the placement of sterilized, one-use-only needles at key points along the body’s energy pathways. Acupuncture needles are 1/10th the diameter of a hypodermic needle and do not hurt when inserted. While it usually takes a few sessions to feel the benefits, sometimes results are felt immediately.
-
Yes. Acupuncture has been used for over 3000 years. Today, it is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) for treating a vast range of health issues, including pain, digestive disturbances, migraines, asthma, arthritis, and sciatica—to name a few.

Registered acupuncturists complete a minimum of 3000 hours of specialized training in the subtleties of Chinese medicine theory and acupuncture technique.
