Acupuncture

Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, single-use, sterile, surgical grade stainless steel. Inserting these needles into specific acupuncture points, which are found throughout the entire body, helps regulate and promote homeostasis. Acupuncture works by stimulating particular points and sensory receptors, which then influence downstream changes in various biochemical and physiological conditions of the body, such as signaling nerves to transmit impulses to the brain where neurotransmitters and endorphins are released. These biochemical and sensory changes can alleviate pain, promote healing, improve immune function, as well trigger a sense of calm and relaxation. Through these mechanisms, acupuncture has the ability to improve specific health concerns and help patients achieve better health and well-being
