Acupuncture is a traditional therapeutic practice that involves the gentle insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. It is based on the traditional understanding of regulating the body’s energy flow and promoting balance and wellbeing.

Acupuncture is commonly used as a complementary approach for supporting relaxation, managing certain types of pain, improving general wellbeing, and addressing various functional health concerns. Treatment is individualized according to the person’s needs, symptoms, and overall condition.

When practiced by a properly trained and qualified practitioner using sterile, single-use needles and appropriate safety procedures, acupuncture can be incorporated alongside other healthcare approaches.
