Acupuncture involves inserting tiny, flexible, sterile needles through the skin into the muscles and connective tissues to help relieve symptoms of pain and muscle tension, increase movement, and promote healing. Acupuncture points are found throughout the body and are interconnected by the body’s myofascial network, nerves, and other tissues. Therefore, sites chosen for needling may be located near affected or painful areas as well as sites further away from the affected areas which may seem unrelated to your pain or problem.
