Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine that is used to prevent and treat disease, relieve pain, balance mood, enhance athletic performance, increase fertility, as well as improve overall health and wellness. As an acupuncturist, Dr. Law consults with each patient about their symptoms, diagnoses the issue according to TCM, and treats it using acupuncture needles and other tools. She aims to improve the body’s functions and to promote the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites – commonly referred to as acupuncture points or acupoints.
