Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These acupuncture points correspond to channels or meridians through which energy circulates.

All acupuncture sessions include acupuncture, cupping, and massage.

How Does Acupuncture Work?
During an acupuncture session, our skilled practicioner carefully insert needles at precise points along the body's meridians. This gentle stimulation prompts the body to release endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and promotes the flow of Qi, enhancing circulation and facilitating the body's natural healing processes. Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that addresses not only the symptoms but also the underlying imbalances contributing to your health concerns.
