Acupuncture Therapy

Goal of treatment

Western medical acupuncture and dry needling are effective treatments that target specific points on the body, reducing pain, promoting natural healing, and improving mobility. These techniques can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, muscle tension, headaches, and joint issues.

How does it work?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile, disposable needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall wellness.

What to expect from your acupuncture appointment?

Your acupuncture appointment will begin with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns and needs. Depending on your issue, acupuncture typically requires a few sessions for optimal results. This will be discussed with you and a tailored treatment plan can be created to ensure the best outcome.

After your treatment, you are likely to feel a sense of relaxation and overall wellbeing. In some cases, mild discomfort may occur in the treated area, but it should subside quickly.
