Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very narrow solid needles into the body with the purpose of modifying disease and providing pain relief.
Acupuncture needles stimulate nerves in skin and muscle and increase the body’s release of natural painkillers - endorphins and serotonin. These chemicals act in the pain pathways of both the brain and spinal cord which can result in exceptional pain relief.
