ACUPUNCTURE
At Sientrist, we offer acupuncture therapy as an effective treatment to alleviate pain, improve blood circulation, and reduce stress.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a key practice in traditional Chinese medicine, widely used to address pain, enhance blood flow, improve digestion, and relieve stress. By inserting extremely thin needles at precise points on the body, acupuncture helps regulate organ function and stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissues.
In traditional Chinese medicine, illness and pain are often seen as signs of imbalance within the body. Acupuncture works to restore this balance by stimulating the flow of energy, known as qi (pronounced “chee”), through specific pathways called meridians.
While rooted in ancient practice, acupuncture has gained global recognition and is now widely used in various medical fields. It has proven effective for managing chronic conditions such as migraine headaches, arthritis, and even supporting smoking cessation.
