Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a type of alternative treatment where specific points known as “acupoints,” are stimulated manually (also known as “acupressure”), or by inserting fine, sterile needles.  Acupuncture originated over 5,000 years ago in the Orient and quickly spread to Europe and other parts of Asia. It is not until recently (approximately 1970s) that acupuncture began being utilized here in the States.
