What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to: 

  • Stimulate your body’s natural healing processes
  • Restore balance and energy flow
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Promote relaxation and stress relief 
  • Support overall health and wellbeing


The needles used for acupuncture are incredibly fine – much thinner than injection needles – and most people find the treatment surprisingly comfortable and deeply relaxing.
