Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture is a modern adaptation of the ancient art of acupuncture, a practice that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. Unlike traditional acupuncture that focuses on the spiritual concept of "Qi" to restore balance in the body, medical acupuncture is rooted in contemporary scientific understanding. It involves the insertion of very fine, sterilized needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system. This helps release natural chemicals, like endorphins and serotonin, that act as pain relievers and mood enhancers. The practice aims to offer a holistic approach to patient care, providing an additional avenue for pain relief and overall wellness.
