Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese Medicine that aims to restore proper circulation in the body's systems to eliminate discomfort and regulate systemic functioning.

However, acupuncture isn't just about needles! Acupuncturists are trained to use acupressure, blood letting, cupping, gua sha/scraping, moxibustion (heat therapy), and massage techniques as well. A detailed assessment is always performed to determine which of these techniques would be the best course of action.  Often there are 2 or more modalities performed in a single session for a synergistic effect.
