Acupuncture & Cupping
Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body. This discipline is based on the belief that energy, or "Qi," flows through pathways known as meridians, and any blockages can lead to physical and emotional imbalances.
By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to restore the smooth flow of Qi, promoting natural healing and enhancing overall well-being. It is effective in addressing a wide range of conditions, including pain management, stress reduction, digestive issues, and more. With a focus on treating the whole person, acupuncture fosters a holistic approach to health that balances the mind, body, and spirit.

The frequency depends on the individual and how long the issue has been going on for. This is a slower medicine that can take time for your body to heal. Most treatment plans include 1-2 sessions a week for about 6 weeks then your practitioner will re-visit your treatment plan. Acute issues can usually resolve in a couple of treatments, while chronic issues will take longer and may need several months.

We recommend filing out the paperwork beforehand! Please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes, avoid drinking caffeine a couple of hours before your appointment and please silence your phone so you can reap the benefits to the fullest.
