Acupuncture is a medical therapy using tiny, thin, disposable, sterile needles placed into the body at specific points to increase or decrease blood flow, decrease inflammation, reduce pain, and stimulate healing.

Acupuncture has been employed as a health care modality for more than 2,500 years.

Acupuncture is a famous treatment procedure for a wide range of health conditions.

It is a drug-free approach that entails inserting thin needles through the skin at specific body points.
