Acupuncture is a practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points correspond to pathways called meridians, which facilitate the flow of Qi (vital energy). By stimulating these points, acupuncture helps restore balance, alleviate pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Most people feel little to no pain during acupuncture. You may experience a slight tingling, warmth, or pressure at the needle site, but these sensations are typically mild and short-lived. Many clients find the process relaxing and even fall asleep during the session.

Acupuncture is effective for a wide range of issues, including:

• Chronic and acute pain (back pain, migraines, arthritis)

• Stress and anxiety

• Insomnia and sleep disorders

• Digestive issues

• Hormonal imbalances and fertility support

• Immune system health

• Post-surgery recovery

• General wellness and vitality

• And much more!
