What is Acupuncture and How Does it Work?
Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy that helps the body heal and function more efficiently. Using ultra-fine needles placed at precise points, treatments are typically painless and deeply relaxing.
In Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by restoring the smooth flow of energy through pathways in the body – like clearing a blockage in a river. When flow improves, pain and dysfunction often resolve.
From a modern perspective, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, influencing muscles, the spinal cord, and brain to release chemicals that regulate pain, inflammation, and overall function.
Why Should I Use Acupuncture?
If you want your body to work better – and feel better – you should try acupuncture. It’s commonly used for pain, fertility, chronic conditions, and internal health concerns, whether on its own or alongside conventional care. For a list of conditions acupuncture is used for, click here.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Our needles are hair-thin, solid, and made from surgical stainless steel. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Once the needles are in place, there is no pain felt. Most people find the appointment very relaxing. In fact, you may even fall asleep during your treatment!
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes. We use only pre-packaged, sterilized and disposable acupuncture needles made of surgical stainless steel.
