Acupuncture can help you feel more energetic, improve your sleep, reduce pain, treat side-effects of chemotherapy, regulate digestion, reduce worry, anxiety and stress, improve menstrual cycles, boost the immune system (leading to fewer colds), provide allergy relief, help regulate blood pressure and reduce frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines. In an acupuncture treatment, thin, sterile needles are inserted in specific points on the body. These points are selected according to your condition and location of discomfort. Each treatment is personalized and tailored to your individual needs and the benefits of acupuncture are cumulative.

Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used holistic medical procedures in the world. Acupuncture is performed by the insertion of fine, disposable needles through the skin at certain points on or near the surface of the body.

When there is pain or disease, it is believed that there is an imbalance or blockage of Qi (living energy). Qi flows through the body via meridians (pathways or channels of energy). Inserting needles along these meridians restores the smooth flow and balance of Qi in the body. There are 12 main meridians and 8 extraordinary channels in the human body and more than 2,000 acupuncture points which connect with them.
