Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to improve health and well-being. It originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. Acupuncture is a way of drawing the body’s attention to areas of imbalance. Different points relate to different problems and send messages to the brain to instruct the body how to re-balance itself. It has been proven that acupuncture can influence the circulatory, nervous, and endocrine systems of the body to treat a variety of disorders.
