Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical therapy using very fine, thin stainless steel needles to stimulate/treat specific points and organ systems. Acupuncture points have been mapped on the body by the Chinese for over 2,000 years.

* Eye, ear, nose and throat disorders
* Respiratory disorders
* Gastrointestinal disorders
* Cardiovascular Health
* Neurological and muscular complaints
* Gynecological disorders
