Our acupuncture sessions are currently on pause while we look for a new acupuncturist.
What is Acupuncture Therapy?
Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, used for thousands of years to promote health and well-being. This technique involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate and balance the body’s energy flow, or Qi (pronounced “chee”).

How Acupuncture Works
The human body has over 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways called meridians. According to traditional Chinese medicine, these meridians allow the flow of Qi, which is vital for maintaining health. When Qi is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to illness and discomfort. Acupuncture aims to restore the natural flow of Qi, thereby promoting healing and improving overall wellness.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is widely recognized for relieving pain and treating various health conditions. Some common issues treatments can help include:

Fire Cupping
Fire cupping can be added to your acupuncture session to promote healing and help relieve pain. During a fire cupping session, a practitioner places glass cups on the skin and creates a vacuum by briefly heating the air inside the cup. This suction draws the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, increasing blood flow to the area. Fire cupping is often used to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. It can also help with respiratory issues like colds and asthma, as well as enhance overall health by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
