Learn what an acuouncturist is, what they treat, when to see one, and what you can expect from a treatment.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves inserting very fine, sterile, single-use needles into specific points on the body. These points are selected to help support the body's natural healing processes, promote balance, and encourage the flow of Qi (energy). Acupuncture takes a whole-person approach to health, addressing both physical and emotional wellbeing while supporting the body's ability to restore and maintain balance.

How do we treat?

Acupuncturists use fine, sterile, single-use needles inserted into specific points on the body to support the body's natural healing processes. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture aims to restore balance, encourage the flow of Qi (energy), and support overall wellbeing. Treatments are tailored to each individual and may help with pain management, stress, sleep, hormonal health, digestion, and a variety of other concerns.
