1. What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic health technique that stems from Traditional Chinese Medicine practices in which trained practitioners stimulate specific points on the body by inserting fine needles into the skin. Each point is located on an energy channel called meridians which relates to a specific organ of the body. The insertion of the needles is said to unblock the channels thus allowing energy to move freely. This helps restore balance to the body. 

Acupuncture is used to treat a range of conditions including anxiety, back pain, depression,  fertility and infertility, migraine, sciatica and stress. Acupuncture is also used extensively in preventative health treatments.
