ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture aims to reduce pain and restore function to muscles, joints and nerves in the body by stimulating a variety of effects in the central nervous system.  Acupuncture helps to release endorphins (the natural pain killers in the body) and reduces muscle tightness due to an immediate increase in blood flow to the local area.
