Acupuncture

About

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical technique used to relieve pain, cure diseases, and improve overall health. It involves inserting small metal needles into specific points on the body to restore balance to the flow of life force, or "qi," which is believed to circulate through meridians associated with various organs and systems. This practice is rooted in the dualistic cosmic theory of yin and yang, aiming to harmonize these opposing forces to achieve health. Acupuncture is commonly used to manage chronic pain, including tension headaches and migraines. It is considered a safe alternative therapy with fewer side effects compared to conventional treatments. While its effectiveness varies, research suggests it can reduce the frequency and duration of migraine episodes. Acupuncture sessions typically involve the insertion of hair-thin needles, which may be manipulated or stimulated electrically. Most people report feeling relaxed or energized afterward, with minimal discomfort during the procedure.
