What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and balance the body’s energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). This ancient technique has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health issues. At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled practitioners use evidence-based acupuncture methods to help you achieve optimal health.
