Acupuncture
Acupuncture consists of the gentle insertion and manipulation of fine, filiform needles into specific points on the body to ease pain and has shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health concerns. Acupuncture does this by stimulating key points along channels (or pathways) that form an energetic network throughout the body. Depending on the treatment style and area of the body, needles may barely penetrate the skin or they may be inserted deep at points.
The goal of acupuncture is to bring the body back into a state of health by correcting the imbalances at the root of the disorder.

Cupping
