Acupuncture Services
Acupuncture is a form of health care that has a history spanning thousands of years in China. By stimulating specific combinations of points on the body, an acupuncturist is able to guide and strengthen the body’s natural healing processes. Because acupuncture uses only what the body already has, there are few side effects and it is very safe when performed by a qualified practitioner.
