Acupuncture is a therapy stimulating specific points on the body with fine needles in order to achieve a therapeutic effect. Acupuncture needles can vary in length but stay nice and thin, our needles are thick as a strand of baby’s hair. After inserting acupuncture needles at certain points on the body, the needles are retained for 20-25 minutes to stimulate the local and surrounding tissues.

Pain usually originates from specific points within your myofascial tissues called “trigger points”. Trigger point release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness at specific points.

Cupping therapy is one of the most common techniques of acupuncture, pulling the skin into the cup via warming up air in the cup (negative pressure). Cupping therapy has two types, stationary and mobile; stationary cupping is leaving the cups on the skin for 5-10 minutes, and mobile cupping refers to moving a cup on the skin with cream or oil.  
Cupping promotes increased blood circulation and improves local anaerobic metabolism. Cupping also stimulates the skin and activates the neuroendocrine-immune system. These therapeutic effects lead to a faster healing in the local area.  
We use different types of cups to suit different areas of the body.
