What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapeutic technique that involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points along the body’s meridians (energy pathways). These points enhance circulation, balance energy (qi), and activate natural healing mechanisms, addressing both symptoms and root causes.
