Acupuncture is the stimulation of certain points on the surface of the body by the insertion of sterile needles through the skin to modify or prevent pain perception and/or to normalize physiological functions in an attempt to balance the body. Acupuncture has been successful in treating multiple forms of whole body/targeted pain, depression, and migraines and thought to assist in the treatment of fertility issues, women's health issues and addictions, to name a few.
