Acupuncture is rooted in the theories of Chinese medicine. Practiced for thousands of years, this medicine assists practitioners in understanding how illness arises and how to bring the body back into harmony. 

Acupuncture works with your body's energy, channels, and acupoints to stimulate the body's nervous system, connective tissues, and all biological systems to create homeostasis.
