Acupuncture

Acupuncture offers a natural approach to pain relief, stress reduction, and overall well-being. This form of healing works to heal imbalances and target the root cause of discomfort, often providing effective and lasting benefits. Most patients report reduced symptoms after the first treatment, and lasting effects when undergoing a prescribed treatment schedule. The goal is to eliminate the root cause over a course of treatments, reducing the need for treatment.

The pins used for acupuncture are significantly smaller than a hypodermic needle. About 40 acupuncture pins can fit into the head of one 18 gauge hypodermic needle. While medical hypodermic needles have a sharp edge designed to cut or puncture skin, an acupuncture pin works by parting the skin. Sensation is minimal during insertion of acupuncture pins, with some points giving a slight pinching sensation, while others give no pain sensation at all.
