What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient and holistic health treatment that has been developed over over thousands of years. The discipline is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and involves inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body.
​
An acupuncturist uses their understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathology (disease processes) to determine where to place these very fine, sterile needles at specific acupuncture points within the body. This may release tension and relieve pain, as well as help reduce stress and promote healing of certain conditions.
​
Generally acupuncture does not hurt. However, many patients may experience a dull, energy-spreading sensation when the needle gets into the right spot. This is called "De Qi" which means "the arrival of energy" and may be a good sign that the treatment is working.
