What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy in which very fine, sterile, single-use needles are inserted at specific points along the body’s channels, or meridians. In traditional Chinese medicine, this helps to regulate the flow of qi and blood and restore the body’s natural balance. Most people find treatment deeply relaxing, with little or no discomfort. You can learn more about the therapy and its many different styles in our acupuncture section.
