Conditions Treated

Acupuncture works by inserting needles into the body's energy pathways, releasing blockages and stimulating the flow of energy to specific organs. As a result, your ability to heal yourself is activated. Typically, you will feel better in yourself first, and relief of your symptoms follows after. How long this takes is often related to how long you have had the problems.
