Medical acupuncture - an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture, is a therapeutic modality involving the insertion of fine needles. It is mainly used to treat musculoskeletal pain, including myofascial trigger point pain. It is also effective for postoperative pain and nausea. Medical acupuncture is a great pairing with chiropractic care. Acupuncture does not cause any significant discomfort in the majority of clients. The needles are very fine and do not damage the tissues when inserted. For many people, acupuncture is a pleasant experience due to the sense of well-being that usually follows the treatment.
