Acupuncture is a system of healthcare that has been developed, refined, and practiced in China for the past 5,000+ years. In ancient times, Acupuncture, along with herbal medicine, was used as the primary method of treating injuries and illness. It involves the insertion of solid, filiform stainless steel needles into points on the body that have been proven to relieve pain and discomfort. Fundamentally, Acupuncture works by improving the circulation of blood and energy around the body and can therefore serve as an effective vehicle to maintain general health and well-being when utilized preventively.
