What Is TCM Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, involving the
insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points, known as acupoints, are believed to stimulate the flow of energy (also referred to as "Qi") and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.
This process promotes physical, emotional, and mental equilibrium by targeting areas associated with pain, tension, and dysfunction. Whether it’s your first time trying acupuncture or part of an integrated care plan, our experienced practitioners ensure a relaxing and positive experience that addresses your specific concerns.
