Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. These points are situated along meridians or pathways through which vital energy (Qi) flows. Acupuncture aims to balance this energy flow, alleviate pain, and treat various health conditions.
After the massage, the acupuncturist identifies specific acupoints based on the patient's condition. These points may correspond to areas of pain, tension, or other health concerns. Fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into the selected acupoints. The needles are typically left in place for 15-30 minutes, during which the patient remains relaxed and comfortable.
