Acupuncture at Effect Therapy

Acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the use of very thin needles, inserted into the skin at specific points on the body. Acupuncture is commonly used to treat pain and increasingly recognized as a way to address overall wellness including mental health. 

​

There are two viewpoints or approaches to Acupuncture. Traditional Chinese medicine explains the practice as a way to balance the body's energy flow. Western medicine sees acupuncture as a way to stimulate nerves, muscles and other soft tissues. 

Regardless of the approach, The World Health Organization officially recognizes and recommends the use of acupuncture in treating many conditions.
