Seoul Sun Acupuncture & Wellness

Acupuncture is one of the most widespread healing systems in the world. It involves the stimulation of special points on the body using fine needles, heat, pressure friction or other techniques. Acupuncture balances and facilitates the circulation of blood, fluids and the flow of energy, through specific pathways of the body, optimizing its ability to heal injury, illness and dysfunction.

Cupping serves to facilitate circulation, eliminate pain and stiffness and improve overall health. During this therapy, glass cups are applied to the skin. The inside of the cup is depressurized with a flame or a vacuum, so it then lifts up the skin below it and brings body toxins to the surface. Cupping often leaves round bruises, which are painless. It helps to relax the muscles and increase circulation.

Laser acupuncture offers patients a painless, non-invasive treatment that has a positive effect on pain reduction by the end of the very first treatment. Flooding damaged, inflamed tissues with light photons promotes increased blood flow and increased production of pain reduction chemicals from the brain and adrenal glands. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain.
