What is acupuncture, and how does it work?

Acupuncture is a practice in which very thin needles are inserted at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system and support the body's natural healing processes. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has been practiced for thousands of years and is now supported by a growing body of clinical research. Modern understanding suggests that needle insertion triggers neurological and physiological responses — influencing pain signaling, circulation, and the triggers your body's natural pain-relieving chemicals and anti-inflammatory compounds. At Olo Acupuncture, treatments are grounded in this evidence-informed approach, drawing on both classical theory and contemporary practice. Learn more on our about acupuncture page.
