Acupuncture is an ancient system of eastern medicine developed over 3000 years ago to help the body heal itself. Acupuncture providers utilize single-use disposable pins to stimulate areas such as acupoints, trigger points, origins and insertions of muscles involved in dysfunction or pain, and nerve root pathways to promote healing. The sensation of the needle insertion at most, will feel like a mosquito bite. Utilization of the acupuncture pins generates a micro-inflammatory response, which in turn promotes a natural immune response and cellular healing. Aside from musculoskeletal ailments acupuncture is commonly recognized for addressing other complaints such as anxiety, insomnia, nausea, headaches, fertility, and or gastrointestinal symptoms.
