What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture, originating in China more than 2500 years ago, is one of
the oldest, most commonly used medical practices in the world.
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine sterilized, disposable needles and/or
applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points
on the body. Acupuncture encourages the body to promote natural
healing, reduce pain and improve function. This is sometimes
augmented by prescribing massage, hot or cold therapy, exercise etc.
