Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional, minimally invasive treatment that stimulates natural healing processes by inserting thin needles into precise points on the body. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, aims to restore balance within the body by improving energy flow, called qi, through pathways called meridians.

This treatment is often used to help manage chronic pain, reduce stress, and promote overall wellness. It can be particularly effective for headaches, back pain, joint discomfort, or stress-related tension. By stimulating the nervous system as well as increasing blood flow, acupuncture supports the body's ability to heal itself and provides relief from discomfort.

Acupuncture is suitable for individuals seeking a non-pharmaceutical approach to managing pain and improving overall health. At Compass Pain and Wellness, our physicians work with licensed acupuncturists who carefully evaluate each patient’s symptoms and goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
