How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture uses acupuncture points throughout the body to gently encourage the body’s ability to heal itself, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief. The process requires ultra fine sterilized, stainless-steel needles to be gently inserted into the skin at key acupuncture points.

Not all acupuncture points are the same, as they are determined by the health concern being treated and the patient’s unique nervous system.

What is Cupping?

Cupping is a therapy that helps increase blood circulation by using small glass or plastic cups to create a vacuum suction on the skin. Cupping can be a highly effective form of myofascial release, helping to ease deep muscle tension. Furthermore, it activates the lymphatic system, helping remove toxins from the body.
