Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, hair-like needles in parts of the body to alleviate a range of health conditions.
Acupuncture is thought to work by stimulating the central nervous system and releasing endorphins into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. This can activate the body’s natural healing abilities and may assist with a wide range of health problems, including:
- Allergies
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Cramps
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Hypertension
- Insomnia
- Infertility (many of our patients combine acupuncture with IVF)
- Migraines
- Morning sickness
- Nausea
- Osteoarthritis
- Sprains
- Strokes
