Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an effective ancient Chinese healing modality that has been used for over 5,000 years. It involves the insertion of very thin, sterilized needles into specific acupuncture points on the body in order to rebalance your qi (life force), guiding the body towards natural healing, and restoring balance and health to the mind, body, and spirit. Acupuncture is a holistic approach to healing that involves treating the whole person by finding the root cause of a condition in a gentle and healing way.
