Acupuncture Therapy
Balance Your Energy. Restore Your Health.
Acupuncture is a cornerstone of holistic medicine that has been used for thousands of years to rebalance the body’s energy, relieve pain, and support healing. By stimulating specific points on the body with fine, sterile needles, acupuncture activates the nervous system, improves circulation, and encourages your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
How Acupuncture Works
Traditional Chinese Medicine views acupuncture as a way to restore the flow of “Qi,” or life energy. Modern science shows that acupuncture:
- Stimulates nerves and muscles, releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins)
- Increases blood circulation to promote healing in targeted areas
- Regulates the nervous system to reduce stress and improve sleep
- Balances hormones and supports immune system function
