Acupuncture is one of the most widely recognized and successful methods of alternative treatment in the world. It is effective for sports injuries, many types of chronic pain, arthritis, headaches, fertility issues, neuropathic pain and nerve and muscle dysfunction. Sterile, single use, hair thin needles are carefully inserted into neuro-anatomically relevant locations. Most people find acupuncture sessions to be very relaxing.
