Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of the insertion of thin, hair-like, sterile needles into the skin at specific points on the body. It stimulates the flow of blood to damaged organs and tissues inside the body, facilitating their repair and recovery. It strengthens the immune system. It restarts neural pathways that have atrophied over time, allowing the brain to release helpful chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s natural painkillers. It prompts the release of hormones, restoring the correct hormone balance in the body. Finally, it causes the muscles to relax and calms the mind, relieving stress and anxiety, and strengthening the mind-body connection.

Acupuncture is a safe and non-invasive, yet powerful way to correct the imbalances which exist in the body, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We use acupuncture to help with:
