What is acupuncture?


Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method used to relieve some health conditions and symptoms, such as pain. An acupuncturist inserts very thin steel needles into the patient’s skin at multiple “acupoints” to stimulate specific points in the body.


The needles rebalance the body’s energy, or qi, and prompt the body to release natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom.


The goal is to relieve a health condition or symptom, such as pain. The practice comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Scientific studies have confirmed its effectiveness for some conditions.
