Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, and is thought to balance the body's energy flow, or "qi." Modern research has shown that acupuncture can help manage a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, digestive disorders, and anxiety and depression. The needles used in acupuncture are typically very fine, and are inserted at various depths depending on the specific condition being treated. Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a trained practitioner.

Practitioners of functional medicine often use a combination of techniques, such as dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, stress management, and other natural remedies, to help their patients achieve optimal health and wellness. The goal of functional medicine is to address the underlying imbalances that lead to illness, rather than just managing the symptoms of disease.
