Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese complementary therapy that involves inserting small tiny needles into various points of the body to stimulate the body’s lymphatic, circulatory, and hormonal systems. The needles are inserted at different locations to stimulate nerves in your skin and muscles, aiming to bring balance to the body’s energy flow.

 

According to Chinese acupuncturists, the energy flows through meridian channels called meridians, and when the channels get blocked it causes illness. By stimulating the body’s meridian channels with the needles, the acupuncturist stimulates and unblocks the meridians, helping to restore its balance and flow of energy. Acupuncture can help relieve pain and treat a range of illnesses - relieve stress and anxiety, minimizes headaches and migraines, improve sleep, relax your muscles and joints, regulate digestive issues, and much more.

It is also a sought after treatment to support couples through their fertility journey and ladies throughout their pregnancy. To achieve the best benefit of acupuncture for a specific condition it is advised to visit an acupuncturist more than once a week or weekly for around 9-12 sessions. Chronic conditions usually need a greater amount of treatment than acute injury.
