Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been around for more than 2,500 years. Ancient Chinese developed their unique and accurate medical system (Traditional Chinese Medicine) through careful and diligent study of the body, mind, emotions, spirit, and the natural world around them. 

Acupuncture needles serve as conductors and, when placed in points that have increased conductivity, can effectively "tune" the body to maximize health and wellness.  These points are strategically chosen based on the concept of energy pathways, or meridians, which are believed to regulate the body’s natural balance and overall health. By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to restore the flow of “qi” (pronounced “chee”), the vital life force, thereby alleviating pain, reducing stress, and promoting wellness.  

The National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization recognize acupuncture as an effective treatment for a wide variety of health conditions. Here are some recognized conditions often treated.
