ACUPUNCTURE


What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years and is a minimally invasive approach to treating pain and a variety of health issues. Acupuncture treats the body as a whole, not just by treating the presenting condition by adding a “band aid.” Inserting very fine, sterile disposable needles superficially into specific points of the body can activate the vital life force, known as “qi,” pronounced “chi.” These points help the qi to encourage the body’s own innate healing abilities and help restore balance. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance in qi.

    ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS

    COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

    Acupuncture is also effective in cosmetic treatments.

    Acupuncture needles encourage the free flow of energy that regulate the function of organs and meridians, by doing so we can also enhance the circulation in the skin. Micro-damage caused by the acupuncture needles can manipulate collagen in the skin and cause cell regeneration in which the body will start to heal itself!
