To Your Health: Acupuncture

Nov 23, 2022 | 12:42 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — Acupuncture. Some have used it before, and some have never heard of it. So, what is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the acupuncturist’s hands.

When it comes to acupuncture, there is a common misconception that having all those needles in your body may hurt, but what it actually feels like is more akin to a mosquito bite.

While it may sound painful at first, acupuncture can be used a number of different way to help your physical health and even your mental health, as many acupuncturists provide a calming environment for their clients while receiving treatment, which will distract you from that temporary sting of the needle.
