Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a part of Chinese Medicine that incorporates the use of sterilized needles inserted into the body at specific points to stimulate healing in a complete and systematic way. Chinese Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years and made its way to the US in the 1970s. At Holisitique, acupuncture is blended with the understanding of western medical science and homeopathic diagnosis. This allows us to provided an experience of acupuncture that is truly unique to our clinic.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?
