Acupuncture is an effective adjunct to other healthcare interventions or can be the solitary treatment of care.  To perform acupuncture, the doctor inserts fine needles into neurofunctional sites to stimulate self regulation of the nervous system. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the use of acupuncture for the treatment of many things including musculoskeletal pain problems, chronic headaches, sciatica, osteoarthritis, menstrual and reproductive issues, stress related problems, plus many other ailments.
