How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, which views the body as a network of energy channels, or meridians. According to this philosophy, these channels flow like rivers, nourishing your tissues. When blockages occur—much like a dam interrupting the flow—pain and imbalance arise. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, our treatments help clear these obstructions, restore smooth energy flow, and rebalance your internal organs.
Modern science explains that acupuncture activates the nervous system, prompting the release of natural chemicals and hormones that modulate pain and support the body’s internal regulatory system. This dual action not only alleviates pain but also enhances your overall physical and emotional well-being.

What to Expect During Treatment

Most patients experience only a minimal sensation during needle insertion. Our acupuncture needles are extremely thin, solid, and made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring a virtually painless process with little risk of bruising or irritation. Disposable needles are used for each session, eliminating any risk of infection.
Is Acupuncture Painful?
