ACUPUNCTURE & CUPPING

​

​

Acupuncture and cupping are natural, holistic treatments used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body, while cupping involves the application of small cups as suction devices over the skin. Both acupuncture and cupping promote the proper circulation of blood, lymph, and other substances in the body to bring tissues and joints back into balance. Acupuncture and cupping can be used alone or in combination. Both are safe and effective treatments for pain reduction, and also provide improved mood and energy.

​
