Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most common and dependable medical therapies used in the world. It is by nature simple, safe and effective health care. Acupuncture practitioners use thin, sterile disposable needles inserted superficially into specific areas of the body in order to help the body’s ability to heal itself. Over the decades in which acupuncture has gained popularity in North America, it has been proven by an increasing body of scientific evidence to be not only exceptionally safe, but statistically effective as well. Acupuncture uses a holistic approach, to help manage symptoms, as well as address the root cause of disease.
