Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves penetrating the skin with very thin needles in specific points in order to decrease pain in a targeted area or to treat various physical, emotional or mental conditions.

There is no substance injected in the skin with acupuncture needles. Acupuncture is often used to encourage the body’s natural way of healing and can sometimes be used as an alternative for surgery or medications. Acupuncture is an effective complement to physiotherapy, chiropractic and/or massage therapy, enhancing their benefits.
