Acupuncture

 

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into various points on the body that help to establish an overall greater circulation.  Each acupuncture point also has a set of associated functions, and its stimulation can mediate various physiological events as well as address and improve emotional and mental states.   Endorphins, our body’s natural opiates, are released from the brain with every acupuncture treatment, and treatments have the potential to be profoundly relaxing and pleasant (believe it or not).   Most newcomers are pleasantly surprised to find the needle insertion relatively painless and the treatments so enjoyable.
