Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing technique in which fine, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (known as "Qi") and restore balance. It is commonly used for pain relief, stress reduction, and treatment of various physical and mental conditions like migraines, back pain, arthritis, and insomnia. Acupuncture works by promoting the body's natural healing processes and improving circulation.
