Acupuncture has been practiced for thousand of years as a safe, gentle and effective approach. The insertion of thin needles (lat. Acus = needle; punctura = stick) to specific acupuncture points throughout the body seek to restore the flow of qi, to balance the body’s energy and promote relaxation.

Acupuncture can be helpful for pain conditions and stress reduction and is trying to re-balance the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic (fight, flight or freeze) and parasympathetic (rest&digest//relax&heal) branch).

If appropriate, I combine Acupuncture with the following treatments:

Gua Sha (chinese scraping/massage technique)
Laser-Acupuncture (LLLT = low level laser therapy)
