Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method of encouraging natural healing in the body by the insertion of fine needles into specific acupuncture points.

Acupuncture points or Acupoints are areas of low electrical resistance on the body. Stimulation of these points can result in reduced pain and improved function of affected areas of the body.

Acupuncture treatment is safe and usually painless. The needles are sterile, fine, solid but flexible, with a sharp tip. They do not have a cutting edge, so insertion does not traumatize the tissue.
