What is Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complementary practice, derived from traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the strategic insertion of fine-point needles at specific points of the body, intended to promote physical and emotional healing and enhance well-being. Acupuncture works when contact is made between the filiform needles and the skin/muscles, stimulating the surrounding nerve pathways. 

The techniques used in acupuncture are thought to have been around for over 5,000 years, deriving from traditional Chinese medicine. While many practitioners draw on these practices today, acupuncture continues to be studied in the context of modern science.
