ACUPUNCTURE
WILL IT WORK FOR ME?
Acupuncture works. It has been successfully used on people for thousands of years as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Numerous studies have shown that acupuncture can be a highly effective and safe treatment for a variety of ailments and conditions. This is because acupuncture helps stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities by inserting very thin needles just under the skin's surface at strategic points on the body called acupuncture points.
Needling these points increases blood flow, releases hormones and stimulates the nervous and immune systems resulting in improved physical and mental health.
COMMON CONDITIONS TREATED:
