Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of complementary therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been practiced for thousand of years. It involves the insertion of hair thin needles just under the surface of the skin into acupoints to stimulate the body’s self defense system and help cure different ailments. The stimulation of these points helps to regulate the body, improve circulation, repair immune function, aid detoxification, and helps the body to heal itself. Although acupuncture is most known for treating pain there are more than 80 conditions that it has been recognized as treating successfully. Some of the conditions Acupuncture is known to treat are:

•  Sports and repetitive strain injuries
