Acupuncture

What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture treatments use multiple thin needles in the injured area. It reduces pain by producing a neurophysiological and electrochemical reaction that causes muscle relaxation, and chemical and hormonal changes to your nervous system. Acupuncture can be used to help treat headaches, joint and muscle pain, and inflammatory conditions such as tendonitis.
