Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment uses the insertion of very thin needles through varying depths of skin, at specific points located on meridians through which Qi (vital energy) runs. Acupuncture is a great option to treat chronic pain, stress, headaches, depression, and even specific pathologies like gynecological diseases.
