Using thin, disposable needles inserted along specific acupoints on the body, acupuncture simulates and regulates the body’s energy (qi) flow, thereby resolving symptoms. It affects the body mind and spirit. Acupuncture is used for many conditions including back pain, PMS, menopausal symptoms and other gynecological issues, anxiety, depression, fertility issues, arthritis pain, and cancer treatment symptoms. It is also great for maintaining balance and well-being.
