Relieving pain, correcting imbalances.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin, sterile needles into strategic points on the body. When pain or other symptoms arise, a practitioner uses needles to manipulate the energy that floats along those pathways at specific points to treat the branch (a symptom) and a root (the source) to illuminate the condition.
