Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the virtually painless insertion of ultra-thin sterile needles at specific points in the skin with the intention of balancing the body's energy and reducing pain. This method of treatment is based on a 3000 year old system of medicine from China, and by combining this ancient wisdom with modern techniques, acupuncture practitioners help patients to achieve an increased state of health.
Acupuncture can treat a variety of disorders, such as:
- Chronic pain (headaches, joint pain, back pain, etc.)
- Respiratory conditions (asthma, allergies, etc.)
- Cardiovascular conditions (high blood pressure, etc.)
- Gastrointestinal disorders (nausea, constipation, etc.)
- Reproductive disorders (PMS, infertility, menopausal symptoms, etc.)
- Skin conditions (eczema, hives, etc.)
- Psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, etc.)
- And much more

Most people feel a difference after a single treatment, but several treatments may be needed in order to achieve optimal results.
People respond differently to acupuncture, but most people report a mild electric, aching, or tingling feeling around the needle insertion, which subsides after a few moments. Some people do not feel the needle insertion at all, because the needles are so thin.
