Acupuncture is an alternative treatment method and one of the oldest forms of therapy practiced in the world, effective in treating a wide range of symptoms and conditions. This traditional treatment involves the insertion of thin needles into the skin into the underlying tissue at precise locations known to help relieve pain and other symptoms.

Acupuncture can be used to treat many different medical conditions, including:

During the acupuncture treatment, needles are inserted into the skin at targeted areas and depths depending on each patient’s individual symptoms. Only sterile, single-use needles are used during acupuncture in order to ensure patient safety. The needles are usually kept in place for 5 to 20 minutes, and may receive electrical or heat impulses during this time. Patients often undergo a series of weekly or biweekly treatments, usually with 12 total treatment sessions.
