Acupuncture is a complementary medical practice that entails stimulating certain points on the body, most often with a needle penetrating the skin, to alleviate pain or to help treat various health conditions.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture as an effective treatment for many diseases and common conditions including: hypertension, headaches and migraines, neurological disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory system disorders and gastrointestinal disorders.

HPWC also offers Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM was originated in ancient China and has a history of over two thousand years. Influenced by ancient Chinese philosophy, culture, and science and technology, Chinese medicine uses the theory of Yin and Yang and the theory of Wu Xing to explain the mechanism of balancing the function of the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners use several treatment options based on the patient diagnosis. This may include a combination of herbal medicine and treatment modalities, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, and tui na.
