What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an age-old healing practice of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are placed at specific points in the body. It's primarily used to relieve pain but also has been used successfully to treat other conditions. Does it hurt? Most people feel no pain or very little pain when needles are inserted. They often say they feel energized or relaxed after the treatment.
