Acupuncturists are health care professionals that specialize in Acupuncture Therapy and Chinese Medical Theory.

These needles regulate the body’s flow of Qi when manipulated by hand or by electrical stimulation.
Thus, acupuncturists promote mental and physical well-being and prevent disease by improving body function and harmony.
This includes treating for:
- Mental conditions such as fatigue, insomnia, stress, addiction and depression
- Erectile dysfunction
- Hypothyroidism
- Menstruation problems
