Western medical acupuncture comes from ancient Chinese medicine theory that believes in the body’s natural ability to correct itself. Using small, fine needles, our qualified practitioners can stimulate sensory nerves under the skin and release natural endorphins for long-lasting pain relief. Acupuncture is especially effective for joint pain, headaches and migraines, postoperative pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
At Lyfe, we follow strict adherence to modern clinical research on how acupuncture plays a role in physical therapy treatments.
