Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a gentle, hands-on therapy that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Very fine, sterile needles are placed at specific points on the body to help reduce pain, calm the nervous system, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. Most people find it very relaxing.

Acupuncture is often used to help with stress, pain, and day-to-day tension, but it can also support deeper, long-term health concerns. Each treatment is customized to each individual's needs, whether it’s reducing inflammation, easing discomfort, improving sleep, or restoring a better sense of balance.
