Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin sterile needles through your skin at strategic meridian points on your body, following a medical diagnosis.
It involves stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles. This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body.

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area, relieving muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Infrared Therapy
