Acupuncture (Acupressure Therapy)

Acupuncture (Acupressure Therapy)
This method of Chinese traditional medicine is based on stimulating specific points (meridians) in the body to activate the body’s internal resources for health recovery. By applying pressure to certain points, acupuncture helps reduce pain, improve well-being, eliminate functional disorders, and accelerate rehabilitation.

The procedure can activate both local and general immunity, improve lymphatic and blood circulation, normalize blood pressure, stimulate heart and brain activity, reduce stress, alleviate various pains and muscle tension, and create an anti-aging effect. Single-use needles are used, which the specialist opens in front of the patient.
