What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that focuses on restoring balance and harmony within the body. It involves the gentle insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points along energy pathways, known as meridians, to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing response.

At Herald Square Chiropractic and Sport, acupuncture is integrated into a comprehensive care approach designed to treat pain and improve overall wellness. The team tailors each treatment to your individual needs, helping you find relief from chronic conditions and improve your quality of life.

Acupuncture may also enhance athletic performance, promote faster healing, and support immune system health when used as part of an integrative treatment plan.

What should I expect from acupuncture treatment?

During your initial visit, the team performs a thorough consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and wellness goals. They then develop a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

Most patients find acupuncture relaxing and virtually painless—the needles are extremely fine, and treatments often leave you feeling calm and rejuvenated. Depending on your condition, your session may also include complementary therapies such as cupping, gua sha, or infrared heat to enhance results.
