Acupuncture is a holistic, minimally invasive therapeutic technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as 'acupoints,' to promote the flow of qi (energy) through meridians (pathways) and restore balance to the body's systems. Acupuncture services can be tailored to address a wide range of conditions, including physical, emotional, and functional concerns.

Acupuncture Services Overview
1. Initial Assessment:
- A detailed consultation to understand the patient's medical history, current symptoms, and overall health.
- TCM diagnostic tools, such as tongue inspection and pulse palpation, may be used to identify imbalances.

2. Acupuncture Treatment:
- Fine needles are inserted into selected acupoints based on the patient’s diagnosis.
- Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes and may include additional techniques to enhance therapeutic effects.

3. Conditions Treated:
- Pain Management: Effective for headaches, migraines, back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries.
- Neurological Disorders: Helps with neuropathy, stroke recovery, and conditions like Bell’s palsy.
- Women's Health: Addresses menstrual irregularities, infertility, menopause symptoms, and pregnancy-related concerns.

4. Adjunctive Therapies:

What to Expect During Acupuncture Treatment

- Frequency: Treatment frequency depends on the condition. Acute issues may require more frequent sessions initially, while chronic conditions benefit from ongoing, regular treatments.
