Origin: Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and practiced for thousands of years.


Purpose: Focuses on restoring the balance of energy, or "Qi" (pronounced "chee"), in the body by targeting specific points along meridians (energy pathways). It is used to promote overall wellness, reduce stress, and treat various physical and emotional conditions.


Method: Needles are inserted into specific, predetermined acupuncture points along the meridians. Treatment is often holistic, addressing the root cause of an issue rather than just symptoms.


Conditions Treated: Stress, chronic pain, insomnia, migraines, fertility issues, and digestive problems, among others.

Dry Needling

Dry needling, a modern technique based on Western medical principles, targets trigger points in muscles to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance muscle function. This method is particularly effective for treating musculoskeletal issues and sports injuries.
