Acupuncture is the painless insertion of very fine needles which part the skin to stimulate specific points on the body. This process aids the body by alleviating pain and treating a wide variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions - as well as maintaining general wellness, boosting immunity, and managing stress.
The Eastern Medical paradigm views disease as an imbalance or disruption of the body's natural function or flow; acupuncture is a method used to promote and restore that balance, regulate bodily processes, stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, boost the body's natural endogenous painkillers and endorphins, and increase blood flow.
