Acupuncture: Does it hurt?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that originated over 2,500 years ago in China. Based on the belief that the body's vital energy, or "Qi," flows through pathways called meridians, acupuncture seeks to restore balance by inserting fine needles into specific points along these meridians. Traditionally used to treat pain, illness, and promote overall well-being, acupuncture has been refined and embraced by various cultures around the world.

In recent decades, acupuncture has gained widespread acceptance in modern healthcare, often integrated with chiropractic care to treat musculoskeletal issues, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. By combining ancient wisdom with modern science, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to health and wellness. Dr. Carin is certified in Acupuncture, serving Peoria and surrounding areas.
