ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that originated thousands of years ago. It is based on the premise that a blockage or disturbance in the flow of the body's life energy, or "qi", can cause health issues.

Acupuncturist insert fine needles to specific acupuncture points throughout the body to restore the flow of qi, balance the body's energy, stimulate healing, and promote relaxation

Acupuncture works by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals.

Acupuncture is also said to influence the autonomic nervous system and the release of chemicals that regulate blood flow and pressure, reduce inflammation, and calm the brain.
