Acupuncture at our Clinic

Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. It is commonly used to treat pain, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing.
