What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a type of alternative medicine that uses thin, sterile needles to treat pain and other health conditions. It's been used in China for thousands of years and is still widely used today. Research shows that acupuncture offers a wide array of health benefits.

While a needle-based treatment may sound intimidating, the needles used for acupuncture are extremely thin. In fact, the needles are so thin that most patients don't experience any sort of pain or bleeding during treatment. It can be used on its own, but may also be combined with other treatments, such as chiropractic adjustments.

What Are the Benefits of Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for many health conditions and has been shown to be particularly useful for treating pain throughout the body. If you're interested in headache relief or migraine relief, you may find that acupuncture can help you reduce and manage your symptoms.

In addition to headaches, acupuncture can be used to treat pain in many other areas of the body, including neck pain, knee pain, and pain caused by arthritis. It can even be used as a treatment for chronic pain that's not localized to one area of the body. One of the most beneficial things about acupuncture is that it's a non-invasive treatment that can be customized to meet your needs.
