what is acupuncture
Acupuncture offers a safe alternative for pain relief without the risks or harmful side effects sometimes associated with medications. By addressing imbalances in the body's energy, acupuncture can alleviate various types of pain, from inflammation, to stress, to migraines and backaches.
Regular sessions can yield longer lasting results and can be used as part of a preventive health routine. Despite the use of needles, many find acupuncture to be painless and even relaxing, with tiny needles much thinner than those used for injections.
How does it work
Acupuncture targets specific points on the body by stimulating the central nervous system. This stimulation, by thin needles, helps remove any blockages in the body and triggers the release of chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, promoting healing and overall wellness.

Acupuncture stimulates the release of chemicals, such as endorphins, serotonin, and neurotransmitters, which contribute to the healing process and induce relaxation. This helps foster a positive mind, which can improve athletic performance. Acupuncture is being used to support athletes in major arenas like the NBA and NFL.
