General Questions
-
Acupuncture is a healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body. It’s used to restore balance, reduce pain, and promote overall well-being.
Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system and activates the body’s natural healing processes. It improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate the flow of "qi" (vital energy) through the body's meridians.
