The points and methods of stimulation are determined by the acupuncturist according to your state of health, pain location, symptoms, palpation of the zones and meridians involved, as well as the energy balance established according to traditional Chinese medicine parameters.

Acupuncture has many benefits:

ANALGESIC
Provides both short- and long-term pain relief.

RELAXATION
Soothing and calming effect by intervening in brain activity modulation, which acts on insomnia, stress, anxiety and mental health.

EQUILIBRIUM
Helps restore the body’s natural balance by influencing the endocrine systems and the autonomic nervous system.

IMMUNITY
Can act on and modulate the immune system according to the body’s needs.
