Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person’s skin at specific points on the body, to various depths.

Research suggests that it can help relieve pain, and it is used for a wide range of other complaints.

Acupuncture points are seen as places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue can be stimulated. The stimulation increases blood flow, while triggering the activity of the body’s natural painkillers.
