What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of a sterilized acupuncture needle into a specific point on the body. Inserting a needle into the skin will increase the flow of blood and Qi through out the body. It will also cause your endorphins to be released which will relieve pain, reduce stress, and help you to sleep better at night. Each acupuncture point, when needled, will promote a healing response in the body.
