Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and now practiced worldwide. It involves inserting thin needles into the skin at specific points on the body. Research suggests that acupuncture may influence the nervous system and tissues where the needles are placed.

Acupuncture may help relieve certain types of pain, including back and neck pain and knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. It may also help reduce the frequency of migraines and tension headaches. Benefits vary depending on the condition being treated.
