ACUPUNCTURE

"Better to light a candle then curse the darkness" ~ Chinese proverb 

Acupuncture originates from ancient China and has been practiced throughout the world for over 2500 years.  It is a safe treatment that involves the insertion of very fine sterile needles into specific points throughout the body.  In Chinese medicine we say that these needles help to 'activate' or 'move Qi' throughout the body.  In western medicine we believe theses points help to stimulate blood circulation, lymphatic circulation, and release triggers points.  

​
