What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a safe, effective, and drug-free therapeutic method that can help address a wide variety of health problems. This holistic therapy helps to reduce or relieve pain, strengthen the immune system, prevent diseases, support physical and emotional health, and improve the function of affected areas of the body by inserting, manipulating, and retaining very fine sterile filiform needles into specific acu-points on the body. Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine that originated in China over 5,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest and best-known of the alternative therapies in the world today.
