Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment where we place thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to help regulate the nervous system and improve how your body functions.

These points influence blood flow, muscle tension, and nerve signaling. When stimulated, they help reduce pain, calm stress responses, and support natural healing processes. Most people feel relaxed during treatment and some even fall asleep.

Acupuncture can help with:

• Neck and back pain • Headaches and migraines • Anxiety and stress • Sleep problems • Hormone balance support • Digestive issues • Allergies • Joint pain • Chronic inflammation

Unlike dry needling, which focuses mainly on tight muscles, acupuncture works more system-wide. It helps regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function.

There is no medication in the needles. The effect comes from stimulating specific points that influence how your body responds to pain, stress, and healing.

Acupuncture is an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine, practiced for over 3,000 years. It involves the insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, which are located along pathways called meridians. These meridians represent the flow of energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), throughout the body. The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance to the flow of Qi and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Dry needling is highly effective for conditions like neck and back pain, tendonitis, sports injuries, and more.
