What Acupuncture Can Treat

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that works by restoring balance and flow in the body’s energy systems. It’s commonly used to relieve pain, regulate the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing response. By gently stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, calm the mind, improve circulation, and restore organ function — making it an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions.
