How does acupuncture help?
The intent of acupuncture is to promote health and alleviate pain and suffering. Acupuncture uses fine, single-use, sterile needles to stimulate areas along specific channels of the body. There are over 500 specific points located on our body. Each acupuncture point elicits a different response to our nervous system, endocrine system, hormonal system, and vascular system.
