Acupuncture is one of the five branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture uses hair-thin needles to stimulate special points of the body to achieve balance. Their insertion is hardly noticed by most and felt only as a small pinch, slight ache, or warm tingling sensation by others. After a session, people feel very relaxed and energized. Many people notice an immediate relief of symptoms. All the needles are sterile stainless steel and disposed after single use.
