Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the gentle stimulation of 6-18 prescribed points on the body with whisker-thin, sterile single-use needles to address imbalances of the nervous, hormonal, and musculoskeletal systems. In the United States, the word acupuncture refers more broadly to the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which includes the recommendation of Chinese herbal formulas, nutritional counseling, and manual therapies like cupping, gua sha (scrapping), and Tui na (therapeutic massage.)
