What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that helps restore balance to your body’s natural energy called Qi—by stimulating specific points with fine, sterile needles. This therapy can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

Acupuncture complements conventional medical treatment and can enhance overall well-being when integrated with your care plan.
