Acupuncture, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is an ancient form of medicine that dates back 3000+ years. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific body points to regulate the flow of Qi, considered the body's vital energy. According to TCM theory, an imbalance in the energy within the meridians and organs can lead to various health conditions and illnesses. Acupuncture works by bringing homeostasis back into the body. Modern biomedical perspectives suggest that acupuncture may stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, triggering the release of endorphins and influencing neural pathways.

Recognized for its holistic approach, acupuncture operates on a multi-system level, addressing not just localized symptoms but promoting overall well-being and looking deeper to the root cause of illness. Often complemented by modalities such as cupping therapy, which enhances circulation and releases tension, and gua sha, a technique that involves scraping the skin to stimulate blood flow, acupuncture also integrates Tui Na, a form of Chinese therapeutic massage. Electro-acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, and acupressure are used as well.

Widely acclaimed for pain management, acupuncture effectively addresses conditions like back pain, headaches, and joint discomfort. Beyond pain relief, it is sought for stress reduction, anxiety relief, and improving sleep quality. It has applications in women's health, aiding with menstrual issues, fertility, and menopausal symptoms. With its potential to enhance circulation and reduce inflammation, acupuncture is employed for various musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis and tendonitis.
