TCM Acupuncture is a holistic healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, focusing on restoring balance within the body’s energy system—known as Qi (pronounced "chee"). By targeting specific points on the body, this natural therapy supports physical, emotional, and mental well-being, addressing both acute and chronic conditions.
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints along the body’s meridians. These points correspond with pathways of energy that influence internal organ function, circulation, immune response, and overall vitality. Treatments are designed to reduce pain, improve circulation, regulate the nervous system, and promote the body’s innate healing abilities. Common reasons people seek acupuncture include musculoskeletal pain, stress and anxiety, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, and more. Most clients find acupuncture sessions relaxing, often experiencing a sense of calm and renewed energy.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin medical grade needles at strategic points on your body. A key component of Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Unlike Traditional Chinese Medicine, Contemporary Medical Acupuncture practitioners view the acupuncture points as anatomical points to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. It provides stimulation which boosts your body's natural painkillers, reduces inflammation and increases blood flow.
In general, acupuncture provides: • Help to reduce pain locally where the needles are inserted and throughout the body • A calming effect and promotes a healing response • Releases in trigger points • Accumulating effects when repeated
