Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on your body.

When your qi (Blood Flow) is blocked or disrupted, you may experience pain, illness, or emotional distress. Acupuncture aims to restore your qi balance by stimulating certain points along the meridians. The body responds the the placement of the needles by affecting the nerves and releasing hormones that affects the processing of pain and functioning in the brain, changing blood flow and soft tissue tension where the needles are placed.
