Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and one of the oldest medical procedures in the entire world. It is a drug-free approach that entails inserting thin needles through the skin at a specific body point. ​

Acupuncture needles are typically made of stainless steel, making them flexible and preventing them from rusting or breaking. Acupuncture is generally used in combination with other forms of treatment, and it is used most commonly for pain relief – though it can also be used to treat a wide range of conditions.

Acupuncture is a very safe medical procedure when administered by qualified practitioners.
