This pressure can help relax muscles, increase circulation, break up scar tissue, and ease pain in the soft tissues. Often times as a result, there will be a decrease in inflammation and an increase in range of motion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1552587547646-3NMFBJOVZDEZW7PB6D31/955A26A3-EFE7-496E-B6A0-FBB51DBF69FD.jpg What We Do - Acupuncture Acupuncture is an ancient medicine that is practiced by inserting very thin, sterile needles into the skin. As a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, and is based on the concept of correcting energy flow throughout the body to achieve balance. The acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points that are located along meridians or channels of the body. The needles stimulate the body's own healing capabilities, increase blood flow, reduce pain, and improve overall health and wellness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1552402880849-WDPKCAOZS5DR7LAZKBC6/china-1651550_1920.jpg What We Do https://www.eastislandacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1558277747029-0N71KE49AJNM26SRNRB5/IMG_9974.jpg Contact - Ryan Mettes L.Ac, LMT https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1554405030725-G502THBD662JA4I3DVJR/image-asset.jpeg Contact https://www.eastislandacupuncture.com/take-action daily 0.75 2024-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1554404411185-GRI2G49B3GWB1TOK9CPG/image-asset.jpeg Take Action https://www.eastislandacupuncture.com/information daily 0.75 2019-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1554403564441-Z7E2MPX72STVIXHJ25T8/image-asset.jpeg Information https://www.eastislandacupuncture.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2024-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1552603438697-L4R9E5CXJI2MIS8FI06I/asia-background-balance-784928.jpg Testimonials https://www.eastislandacupuncture.com/what-does-acupuncture-treat daily 0.75 2019-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c782643840b1643b3321405/1554403413973-OGSZR4ZWVDQIOPW20FI3/image-asset.jpeg What Does Acupuncture Treat? https://www.eastislandacupuncture.com/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us
