How Acupuncture Works
During treatment, fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into specific points on the body. This process stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, promoting blood flow and triggering the release of endorphins—the body’s natural painkillers.
Sessions are tailored to each individual, ensuring comfort and optimal outcomes. Many patients find acupuncture to be relaxing as well as beneficial for symptom management.
