Aslan Acupuncture Treatments

How Does Acupuncture Work?

This treatment utilizes thin needles, which are inserted into the skin at certain points to stimulate the body’s natural healing capabilities. These points are known as acupoints, and they typically run along meridians, which are specific pathways throughout the body. When the energy in the body, qi (pronounced “chee”), is in balance, the body is healthy. During treatment, the needles are placed into the skin for as little as a couple of minutes, or even up to twenty minutes.
