It involves inserting fine, sterile, disposable needles into specific body parts. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s immune and healing systems.

Patients experience acupuncture differently. For most patients, acupuncture is painless. Treatment energizes some patients and relaxes others. Some patients experience a slight electrical sensation and/or a feeling of pressurization at or near the needle insertion point.
