Acupuncture uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body to support natural healing and improve physical and emotional well-being. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points lie along meridians—energy pathways similar to streets and highways—where blockages or weaknesses can disrupt normal function. Needling these points helps “regulate traffic,” restoring healthy flow and balance throughout the body.

From a modern, evidence-based perspective, research shows that stimulating acupuncture points activates the nervous system, prompting the release of chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These responses can reduce pain, improve the body’s internal regulation, and support normal healing—similar in effect to what we often see with chiropractic adjustments or certain medications.
