Traditional technique utilizing fine needles to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, regulate nerve function, and reduce stress.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves inserting extremely thin, sterile needles through the skin at specific strategic points. Today, medical acupuncture is used to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. This stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers (endorphins) and increases blood flow to promote rapid healing. It is highly effective for reducing chronic pain, inflammation, and breaking muscle spasm cycles.
Most patients feel minimal to no pain during needle insertion. The needles are hair-thin, solid, and flexible. You may experience a mild aching, warmth, or heavy sensation when the needle reaches the correct depth, which is a sign the treatment is working.
Absolutely. We use only pre-sterilized, single-use, disposable needles. Once a needle is removed, it is immediately placed in a specialized biohazard container.
Typically, needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes while you relax in a comfortable position under heat lamps.
