Acupuncture

Acupuncture specifically helps ease aches and pains in the body by identifying and treating the source of the pain rather than the symptom. It originated in China and has grown in popularity in the United States over the past two decades. Acupuncture involves the use of very fine needles to stimulate the body’s natural healing and restore energy patterns. Some conditions may call for additional electrical stimulation to enhance the effects. Heat therapy may also be utilized. These acupuncture points are located along channels of energy, called meridians, which run in regular patterns through the body.
