Acupuncture, a component of traditional Chinese medicine, involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and alleviate pain. This therapy is based on the concept of energy flow, or qi, within the body. Acupuncture is believed to help restore balance and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It has been used to address various conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, and digestive issues. Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner.
