What Is Acupuncture?
You will likely know that acupuncture is a holistic approach to many medical problems. It’s a Chinese medical practice, using absolutely no pharmaceutical drugs to treat conditions. A trained practitioner will place thin needles in certain pressure points within the body. They can be in the head, back, legs, and more.
The needles are usually placed where pain or problems are experienced. However, this isn’t always the case. It will depend on the reason for your pain or ailment.
