How does it work?
Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system, as many acupuncture points are located near nerve pathways. This helps regulate and balance the nervous system—especially important in today’s high-stress world. Acupuncture also increases the flow of blood and qi to targeted areas, supporting nourishment, energy, and the body’s natural healing processes.
