Acupuncture is a minimally invasive ancient Chinese medical technique that stimulates nerve-rich areas on the skin using thin needles. Rooted in the concept of balancing the body's life energy, or "qi," acupuncture addresses various health issues. Hair-thin needles are inserted at specific points to restore qi flow, rebalance energy, induce relaxation, and stimulate healing. Each needle causes a minor injury, triggering the immune system, improving circulation, promoting wound healing, and reducing pain.
