ACUPUNCTURE

How acupuncture works:
Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system and the body releases chemicals
into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body’s natural
healing abilities, and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture needle:
The acupuncture needle is a hair-thin, solid, metallic sterilized needle, the practitioner uses gentle and
specific movements to penetrate the point, most people report feeling minimal or no pain as the needle
is inserted. The needle is inserted to a point that produces a sensation of pressure or ache. Sometimes
may use a mild electric current. Most people report acupuncture makes them feel energized and relaxed.
There is no pain or very mild pain, it is not a big deal at all.
