Book NowFAQ About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves inserting ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
While both use needles, acupuncture is a holistic treatment based on meridians, energy flow, and whole-body balance. Dry needling, on the other hand, focuses specifically on releasing myofascial trigger points to relieve muscle tension. Acupuncture treats a broader range of conditions—including pain, stress, digestion, and overall wellness—while dry needling is typically used for musculoskeletal issues.
Acupuncture is effective for a wide range of conditions, especially those related to pain, inflammation, stress, and overall body dysfunction. Many people seek acupuncture for back pain, headaches, joint issues, hormonal balance, anxiety, and chronic pain conditions.
Benefits may include:
- Reduced pain and inflammation
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Enhanced relaxation and stress relief
- Better sleep and digestion
- Faster recovery from injury
- Overall improved energy and wellness
Yes — acupuncture is supported by growing clinical research and widely used in healthcare settings across the world. Many patients experience significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life. Results may vary depending on the condition and overall health.
Most patients describe acupuncture as virtually painless. You may feel a mild pinch or a dull, achy sensation when the needle is inserted, but discomfort is minimal and often followed by a deep sense of relaxation.
