ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture has been around for 3000. Acupuncture is a medically proven, drug free technique to help people with everything from pain, muscle stiffness, digestion, and even anxiety and depression (please consult your mental health professional before using acupuncture). See why everyone in Minneapolis MN uses us for one of the oldest forms of traditional chinese medicine.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at points on your body that help increase blood flow and natural energy. Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

Acupuncture is a form of traditional chinese medicine. It helps to balance the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture will help re-balance this energy flow.
