How does Acupuncture work ? 
Acupuncture improves the balance of flow of energy (Qi) and promotes the body's self-healing process. Clinical studies have observed several physiological effects of Acupuncture:

- decreased inflammation,
- relief from pain,
- relief of muscle spasms
- increase in immune system function.
Acupuncture needles are inserted in specific AcuPoints. Each point stimulates the nervous system to interrupt a pain signal. The combination of needles causes a body to release chemicals which act as a natural pain killers,  this process helps muscles to relax and releases tension in the body.
