What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, helping to restore balance and alleviate pain. Acupuncture is known for its effectiveness in promoting physical and emotional well-being and can be used as a complementary therapy to other medical treatments.
