What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on your body. It is based on the concept of energy flow, or Qi (“Ch-ee”), within the body. By stimulating these points, acupuncture can help to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and promote overall well being.

When combined with chiropractic care, acupuncture can enhance the benefits of spinal adjustments. Chiropractic adjustments focus on aligning the spine and optimizing nervous system function, while acupuncture addresses underlying energy balances and promotes relaxation. Together, these therapies can provide a comprehensive approach to health, addressing both structural and energetic aspects of wellness for more effective, lasting relief.
