Acupuncture is an ancient medical practice stemming from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Hair-thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body to unblock the flow of Qi, our body’s natural energy source, and heal from the inside out. Needle placements depend on the health conditions you’ve expressed a concern for with your acupuncturist at the beginning of the appointment.

If the thought of needles scares you, don’t worry. Acupuncture is usually painless. In fact, patients often find it very relaxing and may fall asleep during their appointments!

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient Chinese method of applying small cups made from bamboo, glass, silicone, or plastic with the addition of heat to create suction on the skin. Typically placed on the back, legs or arms, the cups pull the skin away from tight fascia and muscle, releasing knots and tightness in muscles. This can be used in combination with acupuncture or massage.
