Acupuncture is an ancient, safe and effective alternative to medication and, in some cases, surgery. Acupuncture stimulates the balance and flow of Qi energy that in traditional Chinese medicine is considered essential to health. Acupuncture treats both the symptoms and the root causes of the patient’s illness. It stimulates the release of endorphins – the body’s natural pain-relieving neurohormones – through the insertion of needles into specific anatomical points (acupuncture points) to encourage natural healing. Therapeutic effects include:

– Pain relief
– Increased energy
– Improved mood
– Improved body function
