Acute Acupuncture Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ), What's Acupuncture and how does Acupuncture work?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that has been used for centuries to alleviate pain and improve overall health and well-being. With the rise of alternative and complementary therapies, acupuncture has become widely accepted and recognized for its benefits. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points proximal to particular nerves on the body with fine needles. This stimulation may trigger the muscle to fire and the release or balance of hormones, bringing your body back to homeostasis.
