Acupuncture is a treatment that uses very thin steel needles inserted into your skin to stimulate specific points throughout your body, including your back, neck, head and face. The goal of acupuncture is to relieve a health condition or symptom, such as pain. The practice comes from traditional Chinese medicine.
Acupuncture benefits include relief from long-term “chronic”pain and other health conditions. Most people use acupuncture to relieve pain throughout their body, including for migraines, back pain and arthritis.
Many also seek acupuncture treatment for sugar, smoking, anxiety, stress and lack of sleep.
Acupuncture has a calming effect, so you may want to get a ride home from your appointments, especially the first one. If that’s not possible, try to rest for five to 10 minutes before you drive. And drink some water. I suggest that you take it easy for a day or two after each session.
