Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to stimulate natural healing processes.

From a traditional perspective, acupuncture works by balancing the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee")—the body’s vital energy—through pathways called meridians. When Qi is flowing freely, the body can function optimally. Blockages or imbalances in this flow are thought to contribute to illness or discomfort.

Modern research shows that acupuncture can influence the nervous system, promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and release the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins. It’s commonly used to help with:

• Chronic pain (back, neck, joint pain)

• Headaches and migraines

• Fertility and hormonal issues

• Stress, anxiety, and insomnia

• Digestive disorders

• Neurological conditions

• And much more

Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free therapy that complements both conventional and alternative treatments. At Sarah Race Acupuncture Clinic, treatments are tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on integrated, collaborative care.
