The Practice of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and balance energy flow, called "Qi." It aims to stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and release endorphins, which can reduce pain and enhance well-being. Often used to treat conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and stress, acupuncture is generally safe when performed by trained practitioners. While scientific understanding varies, many people find it a helpful complementary therapy for managing symptoms and promoting overall health.
