What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years to China, where it has been used to treat a variety of conditions in both humans and animals. The purpose of this practice is to produce a healing response in the body by inserting needles into specific points, called acupoints. Each acupoint has a specific effect on other tissues and organ systems within the body when stimulated. It is the response that aim to correct imbalances and restore balance to the body.

Today, acupuncture is used all around the world, as both medical therapy and as a form of preventative medicine.
