Our FAQs
How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture consists in inserting very fine needles into specific places (acupoints) located around the human body. Acupuncture works by stimulating your central nervous system and changing blood flow in different tissues and organs and by this helping your body to naturally fight disease and make the changes it needs to achieve a balanced state.
