Traditional Chinese Medicine developed from Taoist philosophy over 3000 years ago. Acupuncture restores the physiological function of the body by bringing it back to a normal resting state, with the insertion of fine needles at designated points. In today’s modern life, where constant activity is the norm, acupuncture provides a way to reconnect with ourselves and regain balance in our lives. Acupuncture has been shown to enhance circulation, reduce stress, increase energy and stimulate the nervous system by releasing endorphins.
