Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that originated in China thousands of years ago. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, which are believed to correspond with various organs and systems. The needles are used by the acupuncturist to stimulate blood flow, release tension, and promote healing by rebalancing your body’s energy, or qi, and prompting your body to release natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom.
