Acupuncture uses tiny, sterile, single-use needles.

Acupuncture uses tiny, sterile, single-use filiform needles to treat a wide range of health complaints. There are many ways to practice acupuncture. Traditional acupuncture is one approach that uses thin needles plus heat therapy, gentle non-insertion tools, manual massage, and cupping, to have many strategies that will alleviate symptoms and address the root cause.

Traditional acupuncture is rooted in a 2000-year-old philosophy of health, applied to the challenges that we face today.
