Whats an acupuncture?
Accupuncture is an Asian method of healing. They use thin needles and puncture your skin at certain places. Like, if you have pain in your shoulder or leg that's where they put them. Some doctors, make the needles vibrate other doctors hold a candle near the needle to make it hot. If you have a hearing loss, they put the needles behind your ear. These needles are not like a sewing needle or the ones a regular doctor uses to give you a shot. They are extremely thin. Only the tip of the needle pierces the skin. It doesn't go in very deep. There's no pain involved. You won't even notice it, unless you're watching. A treatment takes about fifteen minutes. The best part is, it works! It takes pain away and you'll be amazed.
