Let's Talk About Acupuncture

For starters, acupuncture is old. It is at least 2,000 years old, but believed to be around 3,000 years old. In fact there is a mummy known as Ötzi that is around 5,000 years old and has markings and tattoos that suggest acupuncture treatments!

In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy for treating a wide range of conditions. Acupuncture is usually a part of treatment under the scope of Oriental Medicine (or Traditional Chinese Medicine), along with herbs and supplements, accessory techniques, exercises and nutrition.

It is very safe when practiced by trained, licensed and board certified professionals.
