“A form of complementary medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles, used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is now widely practiced in the West.”

Acupuncture unblocks energy flow along channels in the body called meridians. These meridians follow nerve and connective tissue pathways and stimulating points along these rivers can bring the body into balance. Acupuncture and acupressure have been proven to reduce pain and inflammation, quicken healing time, promote restful sleep, and improve mental and digestive health, among many other benefits.
