Developed thousands of years ago, acupuncture is a key of traditional Chinese medicine which is very popular today.

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very thin needles into key points to stimulate specific parts of the body and its neural network. Some people believe it works by balancing vital energy, while others believe it has a neurological effect. Practitioners insert needles at different locations and depths to treat various health issues. Acupuncture can help relieve pain and treat a range of other complaints.

Practitioners believe that good health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as Qi, pronounced “chi.” Advocates believe that illness is the consequence of an imbalance of these forces. Qi flows through pathways in the body. These meridians and energy flows are accessible through 361 acupuncture points in the body. Inserting needles into these points with appropriate combinations will bring the energy flow back into balance.

Consistent acupuncture treatments can help in the management of many issues that modern medicine really doesn’t properly address. Did you know that acupuncture is used for digestive problems, fertility issues, pain management and even cancer?
