Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health complaints. It is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and increase energy levels. Additionally, acupuncture can be used to regulate hormones, boost the immune system, and even prevent illnesses from occurring in the first place.

Research suggests that acupuncture can be a beneficial treatment for conditions such as:

• Musculoskeletal pain, including lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches
• Digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Stress and anxiety
• Insomnia
• Hypertension
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Asthma and allergies
• Menstrual irregularities
• Infertility
• Menopause symptoms

Acupuncture is generally considered safe and effective when used by a licensed acupuncturist who has extensive knowledge of the practice. Acupuncture can be combined with other forms of treatment, including lifestyle changes and conventional medications.
