## What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine. A practitioner places thin, sterile needles at chosen points on the body, based on your health history and what you are experiencing.

Many people use acupuncture alongside other care, such as massage, naturopathic care or movement based therapies. Your practitioner can explain how it may fit into your overall plan.
