Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practiced for more than 5,000 years which involves the insertion of sterile, disposable, ultra-fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body. Acupuncture encourages your body’s natural ability to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. At Westchester Chiropractic and Wellness, our licensed acupuncturist provides relief to patients suffering from lower back, neck pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, migraines, headaches, sinus issues, depression, anxiety, facial rejuvenation and other instances of disharmony in the body. Treatments combine both Eastern and Western philosophies and are performed in a quiet, safe, spa-like environment.
