Whether you’re looking to manage chronic conditions or enhance your well-being, acupuncture can provide a natural and effective solution.

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points. These points are believed to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities by promoting the flow of energy or “Qi.” Acupuncture is commonly used to treat pain, stress, digestive issues, headaches, and various other conditions. It is safe, minimally invasive, and can be customized to each patient’s needs.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by targeting specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. During the treatment, thin needles are inserted into these points, which can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall balance. The process is typically painless and relaxing, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Acupuncture is often used as part of a broader wellness plan, including chiropractic care or massage therapy, for enhanced results.
At Filer Wellness Center, several acupuncture techniques are used to customize the treatment based on patient needs:
