Acupuncture is an alternative medicine which originated in China and which has been practised for over 5,000 years. Commonly associated with back pain, the acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into the skin in order to balance the movement of energy (also called Qi) in the body.
How does it work?
Your acupuncturist will use needles to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints or acupuncture points) for therapeutic purposes.
The acupuncture process releases endorphins into the nervous system which can help to provide pain relief, promote natural healing and restore emotional balance.
