What is Acupuncture
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a 5,000 year old practice originating from China. Fine needles are inserted into different areas of the body depending on the condition being treated. Your chiropractor will go through a thorough medical history and target the structures specific to the diagnosed condition. Electric stimulation may be added to the needles to increase the effect of the therapy.
