Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body, typically by inserting fine needles into the skin. It is an ancient healing practice that has been used for millennia to treat pain and a variety of other health problems.


Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient therapy used in many traditional systems of medicine in which round cups are placed on the skin by creating a partial vacuum either manually or with heat to improve local blood flow and facilitate myofascial release.
