What is Acupuncture?

An ancient healing modality that is over 3,000 years old

Acupuncture is the process of inserting fine needles, thinner than a human hair, into specific acupuncture points located on the body. It is generally painless, and has been used to help with pain, GI issues, stress, anxiety, skin issues. It has been found to relieve pain better than opioids and with no side effects other than potentially leaving a bruise.
