Acupuncture
During acupuncture treatments, thin sterile needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate specific points along a meridian. The needles stay in place for 15 to 30 minutes while your body responds to the treatment.
Acupuncture is a gentle and effective therapy that helps reduce pain, calm the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing process. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, headaches, stress, pregnancy ailments, or general wellness needs, acupuncture can be a powerful addition to your care plan.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body to improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and promote natural healing. These points are located along pathways known as meridians, which relate to different systems of the body.
When thin needles are inserted, they signal the body to:
- Increase blood flow
- Reduce inflammation
- Relax tight muscles
- Release endorphins
- Support the parasympathetic nervous system
Most patients describe acupuncture as comfortable and calming. The needles are extremely thin and usually feel like a light pressure or a quick pinch.
Before your first session, we will take time to understand your symptoms, health history, and goals so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
